Black Eyed Peas Salad

Ingredients

• 5 oz frozen black eyed peas or canned, cooked black eyed peas
• 1/4 c coarsely shredded carrots
• 1/8 c thinly sliced celery
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard
• 1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• 1/8 tsp sugar
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder
• 4 romaine lettuce leaves

Directions

1. Cook peas according to the package direction. Cooking only 25 minutes, omit the salt and fat. Drain well. If you're using the canned-already cooked peas, just drain and rinse the peas really good.
2. Mix peas, carrots, and all other ingredients [except the lettuce] in a medium bowl. Toss gently. 
3. To serve, spoon mixture into a lettuce lined bowl or like I did, make little lettuce wrap and drizzle some basic vinaigrette on top.
