Cup of Yum
For the dressing
- Whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Pour the dressing into the bowl with the vegetables. Stir gently to combine. Sprinkle with additional parsley if desired, then serve.
Notes
- I typically use canned black eyed peas because they're the easiest type for me to locate.
- The seeds and ribs are removed from the jalapeno for this recipe, which means the dish is not spicy at all. If you prefer a little heat, feel free to add in some of the seeds or ribs.
- No lime juice on hand? Lemon juice will also work or try a little apple cider vinegar.
