Hoppin John in the Summertime

A hearty Low Country stew adapts itself to a southern summer salad. I got this from my Low Country mother-in-law, who tweaked an idea from her mother’s hoppin' john soup one year when it was just too hot.

Step: 1

Combine cooked rice mix with the black-eyed peas, red onion, green pepper, crabmeat, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Serve with tomato slices.
