Busy in the kitchen tonight! Trying to eat healthy can get boring at times. I was on a salad kick for a while, but am quite tired of chewing lettuce! As my dad would say, "too much work"! :) So I got to thinking of what I could make as an alternative to salad that would make a tasty lunch. For those of you that might take your lunch to work, this might be a great option! Black eyed peas are a great source of protein, and this recipe uses canned ones so you don't have to cook them. Woo hoo!
Black Eyed Pea Salad:
1 can black eyed peas, drained and rinsed
1 fresh cob of corn, corn cut off of cob
1 bell pepper, diced
1 jalepeno, seeded and diced(use a half it you don't want so much heat)
1/2 onion diced
1/2 cup Italian dressing
In small container mix all ingredients. Refrigerate! Make the night before, as it will get better after it sits for a while. Serve as a yummy side item or eat for lunch. Serves 4 sides or 2 decent sized lunches.
