Ingredients

  • Salad
  • 3 small to medium carrots, diced
  • 1/2 small to medium red onion, diced
  • 1 can black-eyed peas (15 oz.), drained and rinsed
  • 1 good handful parsley leaves (I use flat), chopped
  • 2 good handfuls spinach, chopped roughly (slightly bigger pieces are fine here)
  • Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons quality extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balasamic vinegar
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Method

  • Add all salad ingredients to a large bowl.
  • Whisk together dressing ingredients, then use a spatula to get it all into the salad. With the spatula, gently stir to distribute the dressing throughout-do this for at least a minute or two so that the spinach gets slightly wilted.
  • Chill and enjoy!
