Crisp, fresh veggies and a tangy, yet slightly sweet vinegar dressing

This salad is easy to throw together and tastes absolutely delicious. The first time I had Black-Eyed Pea Salad, I was at a restaurant. I ended up going home and making my own version the very next day.

This delicious side dish pairs well with any lunch, is a sensational side to a summer BBQ and can even be eaten as a light dinner. Grilled chicken is my favorite way to complement this simple salad. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
