Southern Living recipe for Hoppin' John Salad from November 2001. I can't believe that this wasn't already on the Zaar, it's delicious & one of my favorites for summertime. The 4 hours cooking time is the chilling time.
Ingredients:
2 celery ribs
1 yellow bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1/2 medium onion
4 (15 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed & drained
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
Directions:
1. Dice first 4 ingredients. Combine with next 7 ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Combine vinegars in a small bowl and whisk in the oil in a slow, steady stream. Blend well.
3. Add vinegar mixture to bean mixture, tossing to coat.
4. Cover and chill 4 hours.
5. Before serving, stir in bacon.
6. Optional: If desired, garnish with a small additional amount of fresh parsley.
