Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: Add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  2. Rinse and drain black-eyed peas. Add to a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Finely dice red pepper, cucumber, red onion, and tomatoes. Roughly chop parsley. Add to bowl.
  4. Pour dressing over top and toss well to combine.
  5. Enjoy immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to let flavors further combine. Re-stir before serving as some dressing will settle at bottom.

Notes

  • *Vinegar: I use Marukan organic rice vinegar (unseasoned). Seasoned vinegar typically has sugar and salt added, so omit the maple syrup and salt or use sparingly.
  • Other veggies: Add jalapeño, cooked sweet corn, celery, avocado, chives, green onion, etc.
  • Yield: Recipe makes about 3.5 cups salad.
