BLACK EYED PEA BALSAMIC SALAD

Black Eyed Pea Balsamic Salad image

I got this at a farmer's market in Texas. A chef from one of the local resturants was demonstrating how to use the veggies of the season. This is a hit on New Year's day, the legend being that you eat black eyed peas on New Years day to insure health, wealth and happiness. Not so sure about the wealth, but health an happiness are great. You can use either fresh or frozen peas, but not canned and can substitue finely diced ham for the bacon. Good eating.

Black-Eyed Pea Salad image

This delicious black-eyed pea salad would be a great addition to many meals. The tang from the red wine and balsamic vinegar add a punch of flavor.
