This is sort of a free-form salad version of hoppin’ John, the Carolina low-country dish of black-eyed peas and rice. We’ve added green peas and left out the smoked pork. For this salad, we prefer frozen black-eyed peas to the canned ones. Because frozen peas are fresh peas that have been flash-frozen, while canned peas are reconstituted dried peas, the frozen are firmer and have a less starchy taste.
