BLACK-EYED PEA SALAD
This salad is inspired by a Greek recipe that calls for lots of herb fennel. I couldn't find herb fennel, so I added a thinly sliced fennel bulb to the mix. Along with its refreshing flavor, the fennel bulb contributes a delightful contrasting crunchy texture. It's a great salad with or without the tomatoes.

Steps:
- Place the black-eyed peas, whole crushed garlic cloves, halved onion and bay leaf in a large, heavy saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer until tender but intact, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, remove the lid and allow the black-eyed peas to cool for 30 minutes. Remove and discard the onion. Remove the garlic cloves, squeeze the cooked garlic out of the skins and back into the black-eyed peas, and drain through a strainer set over a bowl.
- Transfer the black-eyed peas to a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, minced garlic, cumin, salt, pepper and olive oil. Toss with the beans. Add the remaining ingredients except the feta and toss together. If you want a bit more liquid with the beans, add back some of the broth (I found the dressing to be sufficient). Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Sprinkle the feta over the top and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh black-eyed peas have a sweeter, more tender flavor than canned or frozen peas. If using canned peas, rinse them well before using.
- Cook the black-eyed peas properly: Black-eyed peas should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked peas will be mushy and lose their flavor.
- Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is all that is needed to enhance the flavor of the black-eyed peas. Too much dressing will overwhelm the peas and make the salad soggy.
- Add some crunch: Adding a crunchy element to the salad, such as chopped nuts or seeds, will add texture and contrast to the soft peas.
- Serve the salad chilled: Black-eyed pea salad is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
Conclusion:
Black-eyed pea salad is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this salad is a great option for busy weeknights or potlucks. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give black-eyed pea salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
