Black Eyed Pea Salad
Description
Black Eyed Pea Salad combines canned black-eyed peas rinsed and drained with thinly sliced onion and chopped fresh parsley. A warm dressing of olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper is brought just to a boil, then poured over the peas and onions. The salad is covered and refrigerated for at least two hours and ideally overnight to deepen the flavor.
The salad offers a balance of tangy acidity from the vinegar, slight sweetness from the sugar, and savory depth from Worcestershire sauce and garlic. The texture contrasts between the soft peas and crisp onions create a pleasant mouthfeel.
This salad can be served as a side dish or light meal component. It keeps well refrigerated for about a week, and straining before serving is optional. If strained, the leftover marinade can be saved and used to cover remaining salad for storage, preserving flavor and moisture.
Ingredients
- 31.6 ounces black-eyed peas 2 cans) rinsed and drained, canned
- 1 onion thinly sliced, small
- ¼ cup parsley chopped, fresh
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 garlic finely minced, clove
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or sugar substitute
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Place the black eyed peas and onions in a medium bowl.
- In a small saucepan, add the remaining ingredients and bring just to the boil.
- Remove from heat and pour over the peas and onions.
- Cover and let stand at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for flavors to develop.
Notes
- The salad keeps well in the refrigerator for about a week, making it a convenient make-ahead dish.
- Allowing the salad to marinate overnight improves the melding of flavors.
- Straining before serving is optional but can help reduce excess liquid; reserved marinade can be reused with leftovers to maintain flavor and moisture.
