1 (14-ounce) can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14-ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed

  • Put the fresh and canned beans, scallions, bell pepper, Italian parsley, marjoram, if using, and Champagne Vinaigrette into a large serving bowl, and toss everything together to combine. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Serve and enjoy.
  • Mix together the garlic, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, hot sauce, salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow continuous stream until the dressing has emulsified. Alternatively, you can add the ingredients to food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
