Directions
  1. Place sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl with enough boiling water to cover. Allow to sit 3 minutes, or until softened. Drain, and cut into strips.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the sun-dried tomatoes, black-eyed peas, onion, bell pepper, and feta.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey. Drizzle over the salad, and gently toss to coat. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving.
Part of my attempt to cut sown on my meat intake(Yes I finally got sick of eating so much boneless skinless chicken breasts) is to vary my sources or protein via, beans, dairy quinoa etc... I cannot get enough of this salad!
