Ingredients

  • 1 can 15 oz black eyed peas, drained and rinsed, or 1 3/4 cups cooked*

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain both cans of beans in a colander. Let the excess water drain as you prepare the vegetables.
  • Finely dice the bell pepper, tomatoes, jalapeño, and red onion into pieces roughly the same size as the beans. For a less spicy salad, scrape the seeds out of the jalapeño before dicing. Roughly chop the cilantro.
  • Place the drained beans, bell pepper, tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, and cilantro in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, balsamic vinegar, chili powder, cumin, salt, and sugar.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad, then stir until everything is well coated. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to eat.
