Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz black-eyed peas, canned
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black-eyed peas thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess sodium.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, and if they're large, quarter them for a uniform bite size.
Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, and then cut into small half-moon slices.
Deseed and dice the red bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop half of the medium red onion into small pieces.
Coarsely chop the fresh parsley, setting some aside if desired for garnish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained black-eyed peas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Allow the salad to rest for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with reserved parsley.
