Black-Eyed Pea Salad

By CorbettCook

An option is to make this with cilantro instead of parsley,a little garlic salt to taste, add a couple of avocados chopped large and the juice of one or two limes and call it "Texas Caviar". If the Jalapeño is too spicy you might try a Serano chile the next time. Also with the acidity of the limes, we don't need the vinegar. You can also avoid adding the sugar. Another optional ingredient to add is hominy.
