Tips:

  • Choose small, firm black-eyed peas for the recipe. If using dried peas, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, cook the black-eyed peas and vegetables up to 2 days in advance and store them separately in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, combine the ingredients and dress with the ranch dressing.
  • For a creamy, flavorful ranch dressing, use a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, and herbs. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add some chopped bacon, crumbled feta cheese, or chopped walnuts to the salad for extra flavor and texture.
  • Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature. It's a great side dish for grilled chicken, fish, or steak.

Conclusion:

This black-eyed pea salad with ranch dressing is a refreshing, flavorful, and healthy side dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
