Black-eyed peas are a southern summertime favorite. A great source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants.
This recipe calls for canned black-eyed peas, which makes this a quick simple salad to make on those busy days. For enhanced flavor, make a day ahead and place in the refrigerator to allow the ingredients to absorb the flavors of the garlic and oregano. As a make ahead salad, you can store for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator.
