Make Ahead Black-Eyed Peas Salad

What are your plans this weekend?  Are you hosting a BBQ or have you been invited to a party where you have been asked to bring something?  Why not make this easy, make ahead salad that will add a little spice to the table? I made it, and the waldorf potato salad, for a beach picnic we went to a few weeks ago. It was nice to have the mix of flavors from the two salads along side grilled chicken and a tomato mozzarella salad.  It was a yummy dinner and perfect for a warm evening.  Anything I can make ahead is a huge help when I am juggling lots of projects.  If you need another idea, I love this roasted shrimp salad too. I’m getting hungry just thinking about all this good food.  Have a great Holiday Weekend!

I couldn't find fresh Black-Eyed Peas and bought two cans - rinsed and served! So easy and just as delicious I am sure as making them.
