Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned black-eyed peas
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black-eyed peas thoroughly in a sieve under cold running water. Allow to drain completely and set aside.
Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and cucumber into small, uniform pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion, adding them to the bowl of diced vegetables.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the vegetable mixture in the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetable and black-eyed pea mixture, gently tossing everything together until all ingredients are well combined and coated.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing dish, adjusting seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
