This was probably one of the best salads I ever had. I made it for company and everyone enjoyed it too. The only thing I did differently was caramelize the red onions. I feel it was better this way than having the raw red onion.
I will make this salad again and again!

This salad was very tasty and refreshing. Absolutely easy to make too. I did not think that the celery would go well with the other ingredients, but IT DID. I made a few substitutions. Instead of butter milk, I used regular milk and instead of spinach leaves, I used mixed green salad leaves. It still came out REALLY GOOD.

Very good salad immediately after preparation - expect even better tomorrow after flavors meld. I used two cans of Pinquitos (a pink bean since I could not find cans of black-eyed peas here in CA. Otherwise, I prepared the salad according to the recipe (and using 1/4 red onion. Next time I will prepare the dried black-eyed peas when I have time, although I think this recipe should be fine with many different beans.

Note - The salad is sour/tangy although I enjoyed the taste. An earlier reviewer added sugar and thay be an option for some people. Also, as mentioned earlier, there is more than enough dressing. I spooned the dressing and mixed until the salad was properly dressed - used about 1/2 of the batch of dressing.

Not being a celery fan, I used sliced grape tomatoes instead. Very tasty!

This recipe was great. The only comment I would make is that there was too much dressing for the ratio of salad for my taste, but we just used a slotted spoon to serve, and left the excess dressing at the bottom of the bowl. My picky eater husband, and all of my children (7 yo and younger, all loved it! We'll be making this again!

I really liked this salad! It was very flavorful. What a wonderful way to use black-eyed peas. The dressing was perfect, and easy to make. I happen to love onions, but if onions aren't your favorite, you might want to cut the amount of onions added. I'll definitely be using this recipe again.

This recipe makes way too much for a family of four. My kids said there was enough for a party. Cut this recipe in half for up to six if using as a side for dinner. Dressing is a little runny; I would cut back slightly on the buttermilk. Otherwise; great sald with good flavor and healthy too.
