You could make this Corn and Black-Eyed Pea Salad with almost any canned bean I think. I like black-eyed peas but sometimes they can be tricky to find where I live. What’s good is all the crunch of the vegetables with the dressing. Play around as needed!
The recipe is from A Gracious Plenty. I didn’t do anything to change it up as it seemed perfect as it was written! Oh, I did add some leftover grilled corn that I sliced off the cob.
