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.
