Memorial Day Weekend has me longing for big batches of food to share with friends! I am going to be making up a few salads to take to a friend's river house this weekend.
Here's one of my new favorites :
Black Eyed Pea Salad
You can use whatever you have on hand, but I love to add in jalapenos and lots of cilantro
- 15 oz black eyed peas (i like to buy them dried) soak overnight and simmer on the stove until they are cooked to your preference
- 1 chopped green bell pepper
- 1 -2 chopped red/yellow bell peppers
- cilantro... lots and lots of cilantro.
- jalapenos ! for some heat
toss it all in a big bowl & then whip up this dressing to pour over the top
- 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
you can do this one. easy breezy.
