A Colorful Salsa

A friend of mine shared this recipe with me a couple of years ago, and its now the requested pot-luck recipe for me to bring. So if any of you are looking to add a new ultra quick dish, here it is:
COLORFUL SALSA SALAD
2 cans white whole kernel corn, drained
1 can small early peas, drained
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
2 cans Rotel diced tomatoes w/ chillies
parsley, fresh or dried - add the amount you like
1 16-oz bottle Zesty Italian salad dressing

Mix all vegetables and parsley together in in a large bowl. Add the Italian salad dressing as you like it (I only use 3/4 of the bottle). When in season, fresh diced tomatoes may be used instead of canned.
Dish can be served immediately, or refrigerate to serve later. This makes a nice appetizer snack salsa served with tortilla chips, or by itself as a colorful side dish salad.
May your summer be safe, delicious, and very colorful - enjoy their Independence Day.
