Blackeyed Pea Salad Recipe

I went to three of the four large supermarkets in town(Courtenay, British Columbia) before I found one lonely, dented can in the canned pea section. I guess this item is more in demand south of the border.

This is a very versatile salad and you can tweak it any way you wish such as using a bottled oil/vinegar type salad dressing rather than the one shown below. You can add more vegetables as well and maybe some dried herbs such as thyme or dill.

Ingredients:

1 can of blackeyed peas
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper-any color
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 small clove of garlic-minced
salt to taste

Dressing:

3 Tbsp. salad oil
3 Tbsp. vinegar

Drain water from blackeyed peas and add to all other ingredients. Stir salad gently and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Makes about 4 servings
