Drain and rinse the black beans and black-eyed peas.

Place the beans and peas in a large bowl.

Chop the roma tomatoes, avocado, and green onions.

Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the beans.

Add parsley, zesty Italian dressing, and Cholula hot sauce to the bowl. Add more hot sauce for extra spice if desired.

Stir all ingredients together until well combined.

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Optionally, add cooked rice to the salad before chilling.
