Not bad, but pretty blah. Try the Mexican Bean Salad on this site - it has more zing.

What a nice salad! So colorful! Made exactly as it was written.

This is a very good, colorful, nutritious salad! I followed the recipe exactly except that I used 1 extra large red pepper instead of 2 medium peppers and dried parsley instead of fresh. The flavors blend nicely together and it is very refreshing on a warm day.

I love this recipe. It is super easy to make and transports well. I usually make it every time we have a BBQ to go to and I need to bring something but don't have a lot of time. It's so colorful and festive looking. Always a big hit.

I made this with a few substitutions. I omitted the onions & parsley and instead added cilantro, lime, and 2 tsp honey. I used celery salt instead of diced celery. I also added 1 tbsp light italian dressing. And I doubled the tomatoes. Then I added 1 cup cooked baby sweet corn, about 3tsp paprika and some old bay seasoning. Tossed all ingredients together before adding the peas (which had soaked overnight and simmered for 2 hours) and served with homemade tortilla chips sprinkled with salt & nutmeg. Mmmmm! Everyone raved!

I made this salad for New Years in lieu of cooked black eyed peas. It was the hit of the dinner. I followed the recipe exactly. However, next time I will try using cilantro and garlic. This is definitely a keeper.

Very Good! I used Italian dressing in place of the vinegar and oil, and added green onions and extra tomatoes in addition to the other vegetables. Took this dish to our friends house on New Years Eve and it was a hit! The kids even ate it ~ will definately be on the New Years menu from now on! 2007 update ~ This year I used fresh cilantro and minced garlic. Really "spiced" the recipe up without taking away from the overall dish. The friends loved it more this way than last year!!!

Very easy to make and so healthy.

Great salad, used yellow and orange bell peppers instead of green, found it to be more mellow in taste. loved it also on top of bed of greens the next day..

If you want to use dried black-eyed peas instead, don't be discouraged by the directions on the package. You DON'T need to soak them overnight, nor do you need to cook them for two hours. Instead, just wash two cups of dried peas thoroughly and simmer them 20 - 25 minutes, drain, and rinse with cold water. They'll be nice and firm, and tastier than canned, for half the cost.

This was GREAT! I love in France, so I could not find black-eyed peas, so instead I used canned lentils, which I drained and rinsed. It was outstanding. I will definitely make this again.

Wonderful, really hit the spot! I did make a "few" changes....I used two cans of black eyed peas, one can drained and one un drained. I added a can of drained green beans and some red onion. I doubled the sauce and let it marinate all day. I put a cup of the marinated beans on a bed of lettuce and had an awesome low fat salad. Thanks!

This was really good and refreshing. I made on Sunday evening and ate with various meals throughout the week. Was nice with hamburgers. Will definately make again.

A new favorite with my family. Thanks so much for this recipe. My uncle who doesn't like Black Eyed Peas decided to try it and loved it too.

Easy, light, and delicious!!!!!!!!!
