Cover tightly and set aside at room temperature for an hour. Drain and rinse beans. Repeat this with the black-eyed peas before preparing the rest of the recipe.

Combine black-eyed peans, black beans, corn, green onions, green bell pepper, tomatoes, and cilantro in a medium bowl.

Prepare dressing: In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper.

Pour dressing over bean mixture. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Just before serving, add avocado and gently stir to combine. Scoop into peppers and serve.
