Black Eyed Pea Salad
Black Eyed Pea Salad uses canned peas tossed with onion and fresh parsley, and is dressed in a warm vinaigrette made from olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. The salad is cooled and marinated, allowing flavors to develop for a tangy, refreshing side with a mix of tender and slightly firm legumes and crisp onions.

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.
