I still had black-eyed peas cooked and wanted to try a 2nd recipe. This recipe gave me the chance to use the first curly kale from my fall garden. I liked the salad and would definitely make it again.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of black-eyed peas rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup of frozen corn, microwaved for 90 seconds
  • 1 carrot chopped in small pieces
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced
  • 1 cup tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped well.
  • 2 cups of raw curly kale torn into small pieces and massaged
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Combine the black-eyes, corn, carrot, onion , parsley and kale in a bowl. Stir
  2. Make a dressing in a small jar and shake well. Combine 2 TBSP olive oil, 2 TBSP apple cider vinegar, 1 TBSP maple syrup, 1 TBSP dijon mustard.
  3. Add tomatoes and dressing to salad and mix well.
  4. Add salt and pepper to taste.

  • 3/4 tsp powdered thyme

  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1.5 tsps smoked paprika
  • generous olive oil for frying the burgers
