Black Eyed Pea Salad
Black-eyed pea salad is colorful and delicious, with ginger dressing for a nice tangy flavor. It works well for a quick & easy light lunch. Black-eyed pea salads are easy to make.
Ingredients:
- 1 15 oz can of black-eyed peas (lobhia)
- 1 medium russet boiled potatoes, peeled and chopped into small cubes (about double the size of blacked eyed peas)
- 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper (about double the size of blacked eyed peas)
- 2 medium seeded and finely chopped tomatoes
- 1 green chili seeded and chopped (hari mirch)
- About 1 teaspoon thinly sliced fresh ginger (adrack)
- 2 tablespoon finely chopped mint (podina)
- 2 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro (hara dhania)
- 1 tablespoon oil
for Salad Dressing:
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon ginger juice
- 3/4 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon roasted ground cumin seed
Method
Drain and wash the black-eyed peas.
Heat the oil on medium high heat. Add black-eyed peas, and potatoes. Stir-fry for two minutes.
Turn off the heat and let it come to room temperature.
Mix black-eyed peas with the chopped potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, and herbs.
Mix all the salad dressing ingredients together.
Mix the salad and dressing and let the salad marinate ten minutes before serving.

I use your recipes almost every Friday, I cook at a Buddhist Retreat Center in Berkeley CA. I cook for 30-40 people so I multiply your recipes. How much ginger do I need for one tablespoon of ginger juice? I’ll probably shred it with a food processor since i’ll need A LOT. Will this work? I shredded ginger before and the strings were a mess.

Lovely recipe. Looks so delicious and colorful. I was wondering if you could do the recipe for a Russian (Olivier) salad. I love it and can’t find a good Indian version of how to make it.
Thanks!

June 7, 2011 at 7:58 pmYou are such a blessing! The dishes are easy to prepare and the cooking does not ever get complicated that even a novice like me has ventured into cooking. My wife is surprised I can cook so well! I have not yet told her I follow your recipes! Ha Ha. I will tell her my secret after a while. Thank you and God bless you.

April 10, 2011 at 6:18 pmVery good recipe. My wife and I had this salad for dinner, and it was great! I (JS) am a meat lover, but once a while I don’t mind a vegeterian recipe, only if it’s GOOD (only condition)… and so far, Manjula has provided us with excellent recipes.
Thank you very much for opening our horizon with Indian and vegetarian receipes.

November 3, 2009 at 6:30 amHello Maam,
I have tried quite a few recipies of yours. And all of them have turned out great. I have also referred your website to quite a few friends of mine. Regarding this black eyed peas recipe can I make the dressing in larger quantities and also can I use it for other salads too?
Manjula Jain
November 3, 2009 at 8:51 amHi Jayanthi,
You can use the dressing for other salad.
Jyoti
October 16, 2009 at 5:58 pmI just found this site last week, and I’ve already made 3 items from your wonderful recipie colection, and they’ve all turned out well! I really am looking forward to trying a lot more of your recipies, and I wonder if you could offer suggestions for what to use instead of some of the canned items you mention. We don’t use any canned products in our home due to health reasons, and would really appreaciate it if you could suggests alternatives.
Thanks so much of considering my request.

July 23, 2009 at 1:26 pmHi Asha,
I make the ginger juice as it is very easy, shred the ginger using fine shredder or jester and with your finger squeeze the juice.

July 11, 2009 at 4:10 pmManjula, I love love love this salad – even without the mint (no fresh mint at the grocery store this morning).
I had cooked chickpeas in the fridge already, so I used them instead of the the black-eyed peas, and I think the substitution worked very well.
I like bean salads for lunch in summer, and this may be the best I have ever made.

Manjula Jain
July 7, 2009 at 8:29 amHello Priya,
Soak the peas before you cook them.
Jaya
July 9, 2009 at 12:16 pmThey need to be soaked for several hours such as over night and then cook them, preferably in the pressure cooker to save time.
