A vibrant and flavorful salad combining the zest of Szechuan-inspired dressing with the hearty texture of black-eyed peas.
Combine the black-eyed peas, diced green bell pepper, chopped red onion, minced garlic, and diced jalapeño pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure all vegetables are evenly diced for a uniform texture.
In a separate small bowl, toss the avocado pieces with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Use a ripe avocado for the best creamy texture.
Add the avocado mixture to the black-eyed pea mixture and gently combine.
Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
In the small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Szechuan sauce, and sugar to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the salad in individual bowls or on a platter. Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful creation!
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
