A black-eyed pea salad with Prosciutto, sundried tomatoes, pepperrocini, red onion, tossed with a simple fresh herb vinaigrette and served on a bed of Belgian endive leaves. You can serve it either as an appetizer or a side dish.
Black-eyed peas are an excellent source of calcium (an important nutrient for the health of our bones and teeth), folate (support red blood cell production and Allow nerves to function properly), and vitamin A (essential for maintaining healthy skin and vision ), among other nutrients. They are thought to bring you luck and prosperity if eaten on New Years, but they are healthy and delicious any time of the year.
Dried black-eyed peas, also known as the cow peas, are easy to use as they requires no soaking and cook quickly. If you are in a hurry, canned variety can be an option.

- Place black-eyed peas in large saucepan of water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes or until peas are tender but not mushy.
- Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, parsley or thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Drain black-eyed peas. Add to bowl with dressing along with prosciutto, sundried tomatoes, pepperocini, and red onion. Toss well to combine. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours.
- Remove root end from endive and separate the leaves, rinse and pat dry. Arrange the endive leaves on a serving dish. Spoon the peas onto the leaves and arrange the tomato wedges, if used, on top. Serve at room temperature or chilled with a garnish of fresh thyme or parsley, if desired.

Scrumptious! Black eyed peas are so tasty.
Cheers,

This salad looks really good!
We always have black eyed peas on New years as a good luck tradition, but the plain cooked beans is kind of boring to me. Great to come across this wonderful cold bean salad, I am saving to try at home. Come to think of it, your picture tells me that there is no reason to reserve the dish for New Years. Great post!
Looks delicious, Angie. I love how you have it with the endive, pretty presentation!
This is my kind of salad!So rich and packed with nutrients!Lovely presentation,dear!
I like the combination of flavors you have added to the black-eyed peas it really adds some zing. A lovely presentation too.

Beautiful presentation! You have terrific vision and creativity. This is really lovely and what's not to love about black-eyed peas??? Yum!
We can get black-eyed peas in the freezer section of the supermarket. I am extremely fond of them. This does seem like a Spring-like dish, so I will keep it at hand until the weather warms.
Another great salad recipe from you,,,beautiful presentation, AMAZING Pictures !!

I love how you've arranged the endive like a flower. It looks really attractive, and you could even use the leaves as an edible dish for the peas.

What a healthy salad and beautiful presentation -- I love the endive around the outside!
I love the creamy texture of black eyed peas, so yummy. And a wonderful healthy salad. They are a staple in our household.
haven't cooked black eyed peas myself before. i think they are more like beans, right? in korean cuisine, they marinate it with some sugar, soysauce, sesame and serve it as as a side dish! this salad looks clean and healthy :)
Lovely salad. It's a shame I don't eat much black eyed peas. I don't have many repertoire to use them. I do like them and I adore endives too.
I love black eyed peas, and have made my black-eyed peas salad almost similar to yours in the past. Have not made it in a long time. Love your presentation with the endive leaves!
Love the mix of these peas with the Prosciutto. The presentation with the endives is superb, like a sun!
This sounds so healthy :) yummy! I really need some healthy recipes now hehe need to go on a diet been eating WAY too much!
Angie, I just realized that I never cooked black eye peas...seeing your salad I must add to my list of things to cook.
The salad looks beautiful and so tasty with all the ingredients in it.
Hope you are having a fantastic weel :)
Salads served on endive are always beautiful, and this one is no exception. Healthy and gorgeous - a great combination!
Delicious and healthy, simply awesome!
I'm always looking for new salad recipes, especially healthy and pretty with the endives making a border around the plate. I've put this one on my salads to make list;-)
I have a freezer full of black eyed peas (purple hull cow peas) and they're my family's favorite. This looks like a great way to serve them for a change. This would be so good scooped up with the endive. :)
Oooh! In Oklahoma, we all eat black eyed peas on new years for good luck. This is a great way to make the boring old BEP more interesting!
This salad looks so delicious and healthy. I would be very happy with it as a dinner entree
Yum! Black-eyed peas are a favorite of mine.
Looks delicious and lovely presentation! Love it!
I haven't had black-eyed peas in years. Does sound like a good change though. Love the endive with it, so pretty. Hope you have a wonderful weekend Miss Angie.

OK, first off, let me begin by saying how much I LOVE your presentation, Angie! So clever, and gorgeous. And this sounds like a winning recipe. Yum! x
I have never prepared Black Eyed Peas, but when I do it will be this dish Angie. It looks so full of great ingredients and flavors. That maybe the best food styling EVER! Gorgeous presentation.
Look at that - you took the humble black eyed peas and made them artistic! Fantastic and the endive flower is gorgeous!

What a fresh, healthy salad! It sounds flavorful and delicious.
This looks so delicious and good for you. Great flavours there. I love how you presented it with the endive leaves. Have a lovely weekend.
What a gorgeous presentation of a unique and yummy salad. The dressing and flavorful ingredients transform ordinary black eyed peas into an amazing dish!
Hi Angie!
First time on your blog, relay enjoyed my time here. =)
That day I had a bag of black eyed peas lying in my pantry, I was wondering then what to do with them. Your salad would have been the perfect dish.
By the way, your presentation is awesome!
have a nice weekend!
a pretty salad, love the flavors!
Your salad looks so fresh and inviting. Love black-eyed peas and often use them make soups. Yet haven't tried to make any salad with them. Should give it a try. :)
I'm gonna look for Black Eyed Peas in the supermarket!
i love your pea salad with prosciutto. The presentation is superb and everything looks so delicious. Thanks for sharing!

Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
Delicious salad and absolutely love the styling :)
a diffinite healthy dish for me! love it:)
angie, i never had prosciutto before but they are available here and it's very expensive, one day i think i will just spend some money on it and try that and see how it taste like. btw, i didnt know that sweet potatoes are such a scarce item over there, here we have endless supply all year round..i think you would probably love them too in your salad!
I was just looking at a bag of black eyed peas and wondering what I was going to do with them. Now I know. :)
oh id never tried eating those kind of food before but if i have given a chance why not! hehe.
great post i love the title :D
So healthy....
I do love back-eyed peas, and this salad looks just delicious! I have a case of endive I need to use up, so thank you for the lovely inspiration :)
I just soaked some black eyed peas this morning as was preparing to cook soup tomorrow. Let me wait for summer to try this salad.
This looks delicious. We are quite fond of black eyed peas here. The recipe & photos are all delightful. As always your recipes are wonderful.
Love this! Black eyed peas have such a great distinct flavor and the pepperoncini's and prosciutto are such great additions to this salad. Also love the idea of scooping it up with the endive leaves - that is fantastic!
Oh my, Angie. You've take lowly southern black-eyed pea to a whole new level of sophistication with the endive leaves and prosciutto. I made a similar salad with ham and tomatoes for a simple lunch, but it's certainly does not compare to the elegance of yours. Simply fabulous!
Sam
Looks amazing! I love a hearty side dish. And the prosciutto takes this to the next level!
Waw, your salad looks just like heavenl on a plate!
An amazing & fantastic inspired good-for-you salad! :)
Happy Times!
