This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I often make it the night before and it's just as good the next day.

I'm not a big fan of black-eyed peas, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing is amazing and really brings out the flavor of the peas.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

Not a fan of the dressing. It was too vinegary for my liking. Otherwise, the salad was good.

A bit too spicy for my taste, but still a good salad. I'll try it again with less chili oil next time.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck. The combination of flavors and textures was amazing. I especially loved the crunch of the black-eyed peas and the tangy dressing.
