  • Summary

    Black-eyed peas mix with cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, green onions and red leaf lettuce in this colorful, flavor-filled salad. Experiment with different whole grains; we used millet but barley or quinoa work equally well.

    Ingredients

    • 3 cups vegetable broth
    • 1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
    • 4 green onions, chopped
    • 3 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
    • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
