| Black-Eyed Pea Salad |
It is really, really nice if you have the time (and you remember) to soak some dried beans and cook them slowly. Alas, no such luck here! Canned beans are a pantry staple in my house for days when I need instant gratification. The other night, I needed a super simple side dish to accompany the delicious local bratwursts my husband was grilling outside so I grabbed a can of black-eyed peas from the cabinet and a cutting board and, in under 5 minutes, made this delicious salad.
This time of year is the perfect time to whip up some easy side dishes! This is one of the easiest I have made in a while and it was a big hit with the kids and adults.
Ingredients:
1 can black eyed peas, drained
1 tomato, chopped
1 or 2 slices of purple onion, diced
handful of parsley, chopped
juice of 1/2 a lime
1 tablespoon olive oil
kosher sea salt
Directions:
1. Drain and rinse the black eyed peas. Add the chopped tomatoes, onion, and parsley.
2. Toss with the lime juice and olive oil. Season with kosher sea salt. Serve!
