Marinated Black-Eyed Pea Salad

I got this recipe from a cookbook featuring former Presidential White House Chefs. This was from Lyndon Johnson's chef. You can serve it as a side dish with fried chicken, etc. It's a good choice for a summer picnic. My absolute FAVORITE way to serve it is as an appetizer with Tostitos Scoops. It's affordable to make, and everyone always raves about it.
