I have this inherent inability to soak the right quantity of beans. Invariably, I get up in the morning and get shocked at how huge my beans got to be after an overnight soak. And invariably, this is double the quantity I wanted. Which is how I ended up with boiled black eyed peas in my fridge at the same time as I got a craving for salad.
So I steamed some corn, and there you go...a chopped red onion in the middle, then black eyed peas and then steamed corn. Mint leaves torn, then scattered all over the salad. Then a dash of salt, a toss of pepper and a liberal sprinkling of sumac for that lovely red color. Finally, juice of half a lemon that brings it all together.
Go soak some extra beans tonight. It's totally worth the effort.

Neat idea to create them into a salad.
Hmm...It happens with most of us dear...Infact if I feel the quantity is more I try to reserve some soaked beans and utilise it in some other way by mixing up wid some other curry and sometimes even sundal or in salads on d next day.....ur salad looks very simple and appetizing dear..
