This salad is a great way to use up leftover black-eyed peas. It's also a great make-ahead dish for picnics or potlucks.

Not bad, but not great. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This salad is delicious! The black-eyed peas give it a unique flavor and the dressing is tangy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning or maybe a different dressing.

This is a great recipe for a summer cookout. It's light and refreshing, and the black-eyed peas add a nice bit of protein.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so fresh and flavorful, and the dressing is the perfect complement to the black-eyed peas and vegetables.

This salad was a hit at my last barbecue! I doubled the recipe to feed a crowd and it was gone in no time. The combination of the black-eyed peas, corn, tomatoes, and dressing is just perfect.

Not a fan. The flavors just didn't come together for me. I think I'll stick to my usual black-eyed pea salad recipe.

Easy to make and very tasty! I used canned black-eyed peas to save time and it turned out great. I also added a bit of chopped red onion for some extra flavor.
