- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 garlic clove

Instructions
Rinse the black-eyed peas well under cold water and drain thoroughly. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Seed and dice the red and yellow bell peppers into small cubes and add them to the bowl.
Dice the English cucumber, ensuring to retain the skin for texture. Add to the bowl with the other ingredients.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the red onion thinly, then add them to the vegetable mix.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and cilantro, then add them to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, minced garlic cloves, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together gently until the salad is well-combined and coated in the dressing.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. This salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
