I'm not a huge fan of black-eyed peas, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so good that it even makes the peas taste delicious.

This was a great way to use up some leftover beef. I made a few substitutions, using frozen corn instead of fresh and canned black-eyed peas instead of dried. It turned out great regardless!

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! I used canned black-eyed peas for convenience, and they worked great. I also added a bit of chopped red onion and cilantro for extra flavor. Definitely a keeper!
