Ingredients

Canola oil spray
Three 1-ounce slices Canadian bacon
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large carrot, grated
One 15-ounce can no-salt-added black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1 bunch watercress, trimmed and separated into sprigs

Steps:

Spray a large nonstick skillet with canola oil spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until very lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Cool slightly and cut into thin strips.
Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add the carrots, peas and scallions and toss. Add the watercress and toss again. Transfer to a large platter and top with the bacon.
