Black-Eyed-Pea and Pasta Salad image

To create a more interesting pasta salad, I added pasta to my favorite black-eyed pea salad. The result is different and delicious. Cucumber and green pepper give this picnic side dish a satisfying crunch. -Melinda Ewbank of Fairfield, Ohio

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the pasta and cheese, and they don't even notice the black-eyed peas or vegetables.

I didn't have any fresh parsley, so I used dried parsley instead. It still tasted great.

I used a red onion instead of a yellow onion, and it turned out great. The red onion added a bit of extra color and flavor to the salad.
