Black Eyed Pea Salad: My Favorite way to eat Black Eyed Peas when it's warm outside!

I first had black-eyed pea salad on a trip to Nashville, TN at Hattie B’s restaurant and I was hooked. I loved it so much that making it home was a must. My recipe is adapted from the version in the restaurant, but it differs slightly. I quick soak my beans in water and smoked paprika, and combine a vinaigrette made with two kinds of vinegar, jalapeños, scallions, and herbs.
Ingredients Needed:
For the Vinaigrette:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white distilled Vinegar
1/4 cup malt vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh thyme minced
1 teaspoon fresh parsley minced
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 red bell pepper diced
2 jalapeno peppers, stem and seeds removed, and diced
2 scallions finely chopped
1 garlic clove minced
For the Black Eyed Peas:
2 cups dried Blackeye peas
1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
6 cups water or stock

You are an impeccable

[@SilverDream1999]

I will try this. Thanks for the recipe. Vinaigrette is a French word so it is pronounced vin-i-grette, not vinegar-ette.

Never chop and deseed a jalapeno without gloves on your hands and under cold water. By following that advice, your hands will not get burned. Yes, fresh jalapenos will burn your hands, lips and face while preparing them for cooking! Other wise, your salad look delicious! But I like my version of "Hopping John Salad" better.
