This black-eyed pea salad is perfect since I'm all about easy make ahead dishes and the flavors in this salad intensify more over time.

Black-eyed peas are such a great addition to salads since they're firm, soft and hold together well in a salad.

I love the nutty earthy flavor of black-eyed peas which are actually a bean and not a pea.

Some of our favorite green pea salads are this layered make ahead pea salad or this easy pea salad.

Ingredients for this salad

Ingredient notes

• Black-Eyed peas- you can use canned black eyed peas or prepare them from dried beans. If using canned make sure to rinse them.

• Grape tomatoes- could be swapped with cherry tomatoes.

• Red onion- I don't recommend swapping this out. Red onion is the best option for salads for their milder flavor.

• Salad dressing- olive oil, balsamic vinegar and seasonings.

1. Start by adding your chopped vegetables and black-eyed peas to a serving bowl.

Store the prepared black-eyed pea salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
