Louisiana Black Eyed Pea Salad is so scrumptious, you'll want to add it to your recipe repertoire and make it often.

Louisiana Black Eyed Pea Salad. Did you know black eyed peas are thought to bring prosperity?

Did you know black eyed peas are thought to bring prosperity?

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.
