buddig (or any brand ) dried beef slices, cream cheese, softened, real mayonnaise (do not use miracle whip salad dressing - too sweet), sour cream, sweet onion, diced very finely (i have also used 4 ot 5 green onions or scallions when they are in season and not so strong - gives nice color - use the whites and a good part of the greens), dill weed, dried parsley flakes, celery salt, garlic powder, onion powder, plain bagels, halved and toasted , then each half cut into 8 wedges (using flavored bagels adds an interesting taste - i ve used garlic, cheddar, swiss, asiago, jalapeno, onion, everything , etc...lots of variety possible)

black beans, black-eyed peas (see note in recipe ), red bell pepper , chopped into pieces the same size as beans, green bell pepper , chopped into pieces the same size as beans, red onion , chopped into pieces the same size as beans, cilantro, chopped (about 1 cup chopped cilantro), salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, dressing, spike seasoning (optional, but recommended ), ground cumin, ground ancho chile pepper (or use chile powder), fresh lime juice, white balsamic vinegar (or use white wine vinegar), olive oil, salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, this is probably more dressing than you need for the salad, but if you refrigerate leftovers and eat them later, it s nice to have a little extra dressing to mix in.)

wine , chardonnay (for the cook), spinach, organic baby washed (i use a bag or box of organic washed baby spinach or mixed baby greens), tomato (sweet grape or cherry work nicely, but of course use whatever fresh garden es you might have), carrot, baby (whole, sliced , matchstick whatever you feel like that day), feta, crumbled (more or less ), crouton , garlic and butter (or to your liking), bacon (carando apple cured works best), sea scallops, eggs, vinaigrette dressing (or use whatever is your favorite)
