Black-eyed peas are a tradition for New Year’s, but this recipe can be a favorite anytime. I made this salad for Labor Day and it was gone by the end of the day. It is perfect for bbq’s, luncheons or as a side dish to any meal. I make this same salad with meat loaf, along with some mashed potatoes and cornbread. This is a quick and yummy recipe that can easily be made for a busy week night, add some cooked corkscrew pasta and make it a meal!
Ingredients 2 cans black-eyed peas, drained or even better if you have a pot of homemade. 1 large tomato, chopped 1/2 onion, diced 2 medium jalapeno peppers, chopped 3 tablespoons Italian dressing 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped cilantro salt and pepper to taste Directions Toss all together, chill and serve Note: If jalapeno peppers are to spicy you can substitute 1 med bell pepper and 1 med red pepper.Black-Eyed Pea Salad
