Black-Eyed Pea Salad (or Dip)
Growing up, my mom always served black-eyed peas and some kind of cooked cabbage on New Year’s Day to signify luck and good fortune in the coming year. This is my version of a fairly well-known Black-Eyed Pea Salad, which I like to serve dip style with tortilla chips.
This is a great appetizer for parties and holds up well if you make it a day in advance.
