Ingredients
Scale
1 can (15 oz) of black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
1 cup of green olives, pitted and sliced
1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
1 medium cucumber, diced
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
Start by draining and rinsing the canned black-eyed peas under cold water. This helps refresh their flavor and remove excess sodium.
Chop the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and slice the green olives. Make sure each piece is uniform for an even texture in the salad.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed black-eyed peas, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, and chopped red onion.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the mixture. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle this dressing over the salad, and toss until all ingredients are well coated.
Before serving, taste the salad to see if it needs more salt, lemon juice, or pepper. Adjust the seasoning for your desired flavor!
Notes
