  • Prep 25 min
  • Total 25 min
  • Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 or 15 1/2 oz each) black-eyed peas, drained, rinsed
  • 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese, cubed
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch-long julienne strips
  • 1 medium tomato, coarsely chopped
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup reduced-calorie Italian dressing
  • 5 cups torn lettuce

Steps

  • 1
    In medium bowl, gently mix all ingredients except lettuce. Refrigerate until serving time.
  • 2
    Just before serving in large bowl, place lettuce; spoon salad over lettuce. Stir just to combine.

  • Cheddar cheese can be substituted for the Monterey Jack. Or, if an additional guest is coming, add 8 oz Cheddar cheese cubes to extend the salad.
  • The crunch of iceberg lettuce is good in this salad but Bibb, romaine or a blend of greens will work.
