BLACK-EYED PEA SALAD
This easy black-eyed-pea salad (salatu niebe) is a riot of colors on the plate- cooked peas (native to Africa), diced tomato, cucumber,bell pepper, scallions anmd parsley. Dressed with lime juice and olive oil- and a minced habanero chile- the salad is a perfect side to grilled kebabs or simply spooned into a lettuce cup. From the food section of the December 17,2008 Houston Chronicle that featured recipes from "Yolele! Recipes from the Heart of Senegal", the debut cookbook from chef-restauranteur Pierre Thiam. Prep time does not include soaking time for beans or marinating time for the salad.
