Marinated Black-Eyed Pea Salad
This vibrant Black-Eyed Pea Salad is a symphony of textures and flavors. Crisp bell peppers, zesty jalapeño, and fragrant parsley dance with tender black-eyed peas in a tangy, spiced vinaigrette. The longer it marinates, the richer and more complex the flavors become. Perfect for picnics, potlucks, or a delightful side dish.

If you don't have fresh jalapeños, a pinch of red pepper flakes can be substituted.
This salad is best served cold.
