2+2=5


What tastes better than black eyed peas? Anything! With one exception, this spicy black eyed pea salad. It doesn't taste like black eyed peas at all, that is to say, it tastes delicious! It's not spicy, it has a very crisp fresh taste. And it's got veggies and protien and is SUPER easy to make.

2 14 oz cans black eyed peas washed and drained
I medium green bell pepper diced
1/2 cup red onion diced
1 jalepeno pepper seeded and minced
I clove garlic minced
1 avacado cubed (1 cup)

MIX

Sauce:
2 Tbs. Lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
3 Tbs red wine vinegar
1 Tbs. Szechuan Sauce
2 tsp sugar

Pour in and Mix again

Optional:
Lightly sautee fresh spinach until it just barely begins to wilt. Then top spinach with pea mix.
Also good in wraps, on toast, plain, snacked on out of the fridge etc etc
