BLACK-EYE PEA SALAD WITH MINT AND ONIONS
This recipe represents one of my fondest revelations from cooking in Ikaria. I would never have thought to pair beans with vinegar and mint, but the result was a symphony of new and magical flavors. The vinegar not only adds the healthful digestion and immunity-boosting effects of fermentation and probiotics, but also helps maintain the texture of the beans so they don’t disintegrate as leftovers.

Cook time: 1 hour if using dried beans; 10 minutes with canned beans
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. black-eyed peas (or four 15-oz. cans, drained)
  • 3 green onions, tops removed and coarsely chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled and grated
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 cup mint, chopped
  • ½ red onion, chopped
  • 1 cup greens like spinach, baby kale, or sweet dandelion, chopped
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper (optional)
  • Dill (optional for garnish)
