Since living in Florida, I’m learning more about the traditions, eating black-eyed peas during the New Year’s is one of the traditions here.
This Black-Eyed Peas Salad recipe is so delicious, healthy, and colorful. It is the perfect side dish that can be served all year round.Just like my Sweet Potato Pie and Southern-Style Collard Greens.
What Are Black-Eyed Peas?
Black-eyed peas are a variety of cowpeas, although they are called peas, they are really beans. They are a pale cream color with a distinctive black spot.
However here in the South, we have many varieties of black-eyedpeas with a different color eye, brown, red, pink.
How To Cook Black-Eyed Peas?
You don’t need to soak black-eyed peas, but I usually soak mine overnight in cold water. Place 3/4 cup black-eyed peas in about 3 cups cold water in a pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to simmer for about 20-25 minutes. You don’t want the peas to be mushy but tender and just right for yourblack eye pea salad.=.

I have made something similar, but with garbanzo beans. I haven’t made anything with black eyed peas before. It is nice to change things up.
