Black-Eyed Pea Salad with Peaches and Pecans
A bright Southern salad with creamy beans, sweet peaches, and crunchy pecans
Why This Recipe Works
This Southern-inspired salad pairs creamy black-eyed peas with sweet peaches and bitter frisée for a refreshing summer side. A touch of honey and jalapeño creates a dressing that balances heat and acidity.
Instructions
Whisk the lime zest, lime juice, honey, garlic, and salt together in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until the dressing is fully incorporated and smooth.
Add the black-eyed peas, peaches, frisée, onion, pecans, basil, and jalapeño to the bowl. Toss gently to combine, ensuring every component is evenly coated in the dressing.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately so the frisée and peaches maintain their fresh texture.
