Quick and easy to make, serve this Black Eyed Peas Bean Salad as a side or enjoy it as a salsa with tortilla chips!
Black Eyed Pea Salad is also known as redneck or texas caviar, it’s a perfect make-ahead dish and is easy to transport to your next barbecue, picnic or potluck.
This salad, like most bean salads, is cheap easy, and fast to make with loads of fantastic flavours melded together.
You could use other beans in place of the black-eyed peas – cannellini or other mild flavoured beans would be terrific.
Can I Make Black Eyed Pea Salad Ahead of Time?
Yes! In fact, I recommend you do. Make it a day or two before you need it and store it covered in the fridge. Really let those veggies and peas marinate well before serving.
Just leave the cilantro out until ready to serve.
