Avocado black eyed pea salad

I’m a little obsessed with these flavors after making this Black Eyed Peas Salsa.  With the addition of a few ingredients and substituting a few other ingredients, I made the same flavors into a hearty salad.

I added avocados and black beans to my classic Black Eyed Peas Salsa. You could also add a protein like chicken or shrimp that will make it a little more hearty. As well, I used fresh basil instead of cilantro. Then I used a white wine vinegar in the dressing.

This makes a delicious side dish for a family meal or with the addition of chicken a filling stand-alone meal.

The vinaigrette of sugar, vinegar, and oil gives the salad a slightly pickled flavor. If you prefer, you can leave off the vinaigrette dressing and use your favorite dressing. Sometimes I add ranch in addition to the vinaigrette.

You then spoon the avocado and black bean mixture over a bed of lettuce. I used iceberg this time, but Romaine or any variety would be good.

It’s a light and bright salad with bold Southern-style flavors. Another bonus, it can be made really quickly. Canned beans are ideal for this recipe; this also makes it very easy to make. And, very easy to always have the ingredients in your pantry. Coincidently, this makes it a great busy weeknight meal. Which is a huge bonus for me since he boys are back in school and have extra activities.

Healthy salad recipe - This light and vibrant Avocado Black Eyed Pea Salad is also easy to put together and it's full of nutrients!

This salad has a light, bright flavor profile.  Avocado Black Eyed Pea Salad is a great summery salad with a variety of textures and flavors. I made a light vinaigrette dressing for it, but you can leave that off and substitute your favorite salad dressing.

    This recipe is delicious! I omitted the black beans and instead used two cans of black-eyed peas with bacon. I also substituted the green onion with a quarter of a small diced red onion, and I added some garlic salt and white pepper to the cooled sauce. We used it as dip with tortilla chips. Everyone said it was delicious! I think it was the sweet, vinegar sauce that made it taste so good.
