zesty black-eyed peas and black bean salad
(2 ratings)
What a refreshing twist for the traditional Black-Eyed peas for New Years! This dish can be served in a number of ways; a wonderful zesty salad, a side dish that is wonderful with fish, pork, steak or chicken (blackened of course), or serve with corn chips as an appetizer. This is a wonderful dish to serve in the summer as well, especially when corn is fresh. It's good with frozen but fresh always wins my vote of approval. Hope you enjoy!
