You can prepare the dressing for the salad until the black-eyed peas have cooled. Saute finely chopped onions and garlic in olive oil until golden brown and leave to cool.

Separate the cowpeas from their garbage and put them in a mixing bowl. Add the roasted onions and garlic, olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice and a teaspoon of salt and let them rest for at least 1/2 hour in the sauce.

Serve your salad cold, garnished with lemon slices, walnuts or netted almonds, if desired. Bon Appetit!
