Cowpea Salad

Fresh black-eyed peas started to appear in my kitchen again. When the price was very cheap, I gained 1-2 kilos and threw them in the freezer for the winter.

As much as I like fresh black-eyed peas with olive oil, I also like to combine them with different flavors and eat them. In this recipe, I especially preferred to use roasted red peppers. You can create incredible flavors with a little lemon and garlic.

If you want the cowpea to stay green as in the photo, let me tell you a little secret. After boiling your cowpea in boiling water for 5-6 minutes, drain it and pour it into a bowl filled with cold water, so your cowpea will retain its vibrant green color.

How to Make Black Cowpea Salad Recipe?

1. Wash and sort the cowpeas in 1-2 waters and cut them into 2-3 parts according to your desire. Clean and chop the roasted peppers.
2. Boil 2 liters of water in a large pot and boil the black-eyed peas for 10 minutes by throwing them into the water.
3. Take the cooked cowpeas out of the pot with the help of a colander and transfer them to a bowl of cold water (this way they will retain their green color).
