GlendaLees Black-Eye Pea Salad

This is a dish that I am asked to make for potlucks, reunions, family get-togethers. There are never any leftovers except when I make it for myself. It is even better the next day. If I make it for myself, my next door neighbor always comes over and takes half of it home with her.
