Tag: black-eyed pea

This is it. My absolute favorite black-eyed pea salad. I could eat it all day. I could slurp up the dressing with a straw. And I could dream about it. And I have. It has everything I love in every (big) bite. A bit of heat. Hints of Creole mustard and red wine vinegar. Crunchy fresh vegetables. There’s nothing boring about this black-eyed pea salad.

Even Better The Next Day

As with all great pea or bean salads, this one gets even better the next day. And the day after that. So make a double batch because you’ll want to have this salad on hand as long as you possibly can.

If you weren’t raised on black-eyed peas or love them as much as I do, you could substitute kidney beans instead and you’ll be just as happy as I was using black-eyed peas.
