Mix vinegar and water. Dissolve sugar in mixture and set aside. (Sugar can be adjusted to taste.)

Mix black-eyed peas, corn, celery, red pepper, red onion, cilantro, jalapenos and dressing in a tightly covered container. Seal container and shake to allow dressing to coat salad vegetables. Allow to marinate for at least 8 hours, preferrably 24, shaking every so often.

Notes:

This recipe was inspired by the black-eyed pea salsa served at TGI Fridays.
