This refreshing salad combines the earthy flavor of black-eyed peas with the brightness of fresh herbs and a zesty dressing.
Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, salt, sugar, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Whisk the dressing thoroughly to ensure the oil and lemon juice emulsify for a smooth consistency.
In a large bowl, mix the cherry tomatoes, green onion, parsley, mint, and black-eyed peas.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid crushing the black-eyed peas.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
