Super Easy Black Eyed Pea Salad Recipe

This is super easy black eyed pea salad recipe that you can rustle up in about 15 minutes. It is healthy and nutritious.

Black eyed peas or lobia are very popular beans in India and I regularly make lobia or vegan black eyed pea curry that is super flavourful.

These beans are bursting with protein and vital nutrients. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, this is the perfect food for you especially since it is high in plant protein.

Now, I have the habit of sprouting a lot of beans and legumes at home regularly.

So I had sprouted black eyed peas that I turned into a fresh salad or salsa to have for an evening snack.

You know those 4 pm snacks that we usually tend to reach out to junk food for. Well, they can be quick, tasty and healthy as well.
