This is a Southern recipe that is supposed to bring good luck if you eat it on New Years Day. Black eyed peas are a good source of fiber, so it is good for you too. I tried "Texas Caviar" this summer at
Dinosaur Bar B Que in Syracuse, New York. Texas Caviar is very like this salad. I loved it. So for 2015 at our house we are starting the New Year with this salad and some smoked pork chops. I guess some collard greens on the side would be good too. I cooked up a small bag of dried black eyed peas by boiling them in water for 90 minutes. I froze the beans I didn't use for another time.
4 c. cooked black eyed peas
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1 tomato, diced
1/4 red onion, chopped
1/2 red pepper, diced
1/3 c. chopped cilantro
Mix all these ingredients in a bowl. Mix dressing, pour over and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
Dressing:
1/4 c. rice vinegar
2 T. canola oil
1 t. sugar
