How Do I Make This Black Eyed Pea Salad (Vegan, GF)?

  1. In a large bowl, add the black eyed peas, corn, carrots, red onion, tomatoes, and parsley.
  2. In a separate bowl, gently massage the kale with your hands for a few minutes until it becomes soft.  Add it to the larger bowl with the black eyed peas and vegetables.
  3. In a pint sized mason jar (or other airtight container), add all the dressing ingredients: olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup or raw honey, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.  Seal the jar with an airtight lid, and shake the ingredients well for a few minutes until dressing is well combined.
  4. Pour dressing on the salad right before serving, and toss well. Enjoy!
