Louisiana Black Eyed Pea Salad is a Southern tradition.

This delicious Louisiana Black Eyed Pea Salad is beautiful and makes an excellent main dish salad or a side salad. Some people always serve black eyed peas in January to ring in prosperity. It’s a tradition in the U.S. South. I eat them because they are tasty.

Looking for More Vegetarian Recipes?

I was looking for some traditional American foods and I found this recipe in a terrific Moosewood cookbook, Moosewood Restaurant Daily Special (affiliate link), that my daughter Erin gave me several years ago for Mother’s Day (thanks, Erin!). I absolutely love Moosewood recipes, and the ones in this cookbook are the best. Whenever I need a good vegetarian or vegan recipe, I look to Moosewood for inspiration. Of course, I always change a few things.

WHAT YOU NEED

You will need a knife, cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, and mixing bowls. If you want to cook dried black-eyed peas for this recipe, get yourself an Instant Pot. It makes cooking beans a snap.
