- 1/2 cucumber, peeled and diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the black-eyed peas, the tomatoes, the cucumber, the red onion and the parsley in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the vinegar, the oregano, the sugar and the salt and pepper. Whisk together with the olive oil.
- Pour the dressing over the salad, tossing everything together.
- Let it cool in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
I usually use dried black-eyed peas and I cook them in a pressure cooker. You can use canned peas or you can use the dried ones and cook them in a regular pot! :)
