BLACK- EYED PEA SALAD

Simple and satisfying, this black-eyed pea salad dressed with Olea Blue, Extra Virgin Olive Oil  is a great side dish for grilled steak and chicken.

*1 /2 onion, diced
*2 green onions, sliced

*1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

*2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
*salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

Wash and peel carrots.
Slice them and boil them in salted water until tender. Do not overcook.
Toss to combine black-eyed peas, peas, carrots, tomato, onion, and green onion in a large bowl.

In a small bowl mix Olive Oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour dressing over bean mixture. Toss to coat. Stir in parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Refrigerate until ready to serve (the longer it sits the better the flavor will be).
