Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups dried black-eyed peas, soaked overnight

  • cup chopped celery, with leaves

  • 1 ½ cups shredded carrot

  • ¾ cup chopped fresh parsley

  • ½ cup chopped white onion

  • cup chopped fresh mint

Dressing:

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 2 oranges, juiced

  • ½ lemon, juiced

  • 1 garlic clove, pressed

  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Directions

  1. Place the beans in a saucepan with enough water to cover them by one inch. Bring beans to a slow boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender but not mushy (about 35 minutes). Set aside to cool.

  2. When the beans have cooled, place them in a large bowl. Add the celery, carrots, parsley, white onion, and mint; toss to blend.

  3. For dressing, blend olive oil, orange and lemon juice, garlic, coriander, salt, pepper, and brown sugar in a blender for 6 seconds. Transfer to a small saucepan, and simmer over low heat for five minutes. Remove from heat, and cool. Pour dressing over the bean salad, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
