SOUTHERN BLACK-EYED PEA SALAD

This recipe for Black-Eyed Pea Salad is very versatile. It is wonderful for using fresh garden produce but you could use frozen or canned. We like it with the ham in it but you could use chicken or leave the meat out. You can double the recipe or cut it in half. It keeps well in the refrigerator for several days.
