Black Eyed Pea Salad

A few years ago I made Hoppin John in the slow cooker because I thought it was so much fun it included my husband John's name. LOL

I have to admit that at this point in my life I didn't realize how many traditions there are surrounding Black Eyed Peas and New Year.

We received a ton of emails and social media messages around new years and I had to look up the traditions because I didn't realize we should be making it for new years.

Now we know that black-eyed peas are supposed to bring good luck for the year when eaten on New Years Day. I make this salad on New Years Day every year now.

It is so easy to throw together and really anything that could bring an extra bit of luck is always welcome.

This black eyed pea salad recipe takes minutes to prepare and is a great side dish for holidays or any day of the year. I love that I can prepare this salad a few hours before serving so I don't have to stress before an event.

My husband LOVES black eyed peas so I am trying to find a ton of new ways to serve them. Up next I think I am going to work on collard greens and black eyed peas.

I am still working on making all of the southern dishes my husband grew up with while living in Alabama.

Ingredients

  • Black Eyed Peas
  • Green Onions
  • Fat-Free Italian Dressing
