BLACK EYED PEA PASTA SALAD
This recipe was the result of me sifting through the leftovers I had and wanting some pasta salad. I love black-eyed peas, but whenever I make them we always have leftovers because I get tired of eating them plain. This is a great way to use up those leftovers, and a few other random ingredients you may have lying around. I'll give tips for some substitutions, but definitely make this your own using what you like. I'll post my vegetarian black eyed pea recipe separately.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water up to a rapid boil.
- Drain off black-eyed peas, or if frozen submerse for a few minutes in boiling water until cooked through, with the aid of a strainer.
- Lightly cook carrots for a few minutes in boiling water using a strainer to submerse and remove from water.
- Lightly boil mushrooms the same way or cook them lightly in olive oil in a pan.
- Add pasta to water and cook approximately 7 minutes. I usually undercook the pasta slightly so the pasta doesn't get too mushy after absorbing liquid in the salad, or if you want to eat the pasta hot later.
- Mix together garlic, cilantro, green onions, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if you like. Onion and garlic powder and parsley are also great additions.
- Combine sauce with vegetables, black eyed peas and salmon flaked into small pieces and again taste and adjust seasoning.
- Remove pasta and strain.
- Mix pasta into vegetable mixture and give a final taste and adjust if needed.
- Sprinkle cheese if using on top and heat in oven or microwave if desired.
- This dish is also excellent cold, though I prefer it warm with some cheese melted on top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Brush olive oil on the peppers, and place them cut side down on a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil (with the edges turned up to avoid drips.) Roast until charred, them remove them to a resealable plastic bag or tightly covered pan to sweat and cool down.
- Make the vinaigrette just before use. Through the feed opening of a running blender, add vinegar and garlic. With the blender still running, pour olive oil in a slow thin stream. (Alternatively, you can prepare the vinaigrette by whisking the ingredients into a bowl in the same order, in which case, the garlic should be minced first.)
- Return to the bell peppers and peel off the blackened skin. Slice the flesh of the peppers brunoise (julienne, then crosswise) and place in a mixing bowl. Fold in the drained black-eyed peas, scallions, and parsley. Stir in enough of the vinaigrette to coat. Serve family style.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
- Cook the pasta al dente. This means that it should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a little bit of a bite to it.
- Let the pasta cool completely before adding it to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a variety of beans and vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients.
- Dress the salad with a light vinaigrette or dressing. This will help to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. This salad is best served fresh, but it can also be chilled for later.
