How to make black eyed pea salad

First, gather your ingredients.

Ingredients

For tastiest results, always use the best quality ingredients you have access to. To make this black eyed pea salad, you will need the following:

  • black eyed peas
  • English cucumber
  • red bell pepper
  • cherry tomatoes
  • corn
  • red onion
  • parsley
  • olive oil
  • red wine vinegar
  • dijon mustard
  • honey or maple syrup
  • dried oregano
  • salt and pepper

Making the dressing

Make the dressing by combining all of the dressing ingredients in a mason jar and then shake well to emulsify.

Alternatively, you can just make the dressing in the mixing bowl and whisk it all together. Making it separate and pouring it over the top works best, in my opinion.

Assemble black eyed pea salad

Add all salad ingredients, except the parsley to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad.

Then toss everything together then top the salad with the chopped parsley. How easy is that?! And would you just look at all of those gorgeous colors.
