This recipe is a great way to combine lucky New Year foods. It can be prepared in advance and features just-tender fresh or frozen black-eyes, which are appealing to folks who want a cool dish that’s a little more al dente than stewed peas.
Makes 8 to 10 servings
- 4 cups cooked fresh or frozen black-eyed peas, drained
- 3 cups finely chopped green cabbage
- 1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
- 1/4 cup minced green onion
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt, black pepper, and hot sauce to taste
