Black-eyed pea salad

Black-eyed pea salad / Μαυρομάτικα σαλάτα. A deliciously fresh and simple summer salad, perfect to build a meal around or serve as a BBQ side!

#RECIPE:
1lb / 450g cooked black-eyed peas
1 large cucumber, halved and sliced
1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 large red onion, chopped
6 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
METHOD:
Combine the prepared vegetables in a bowl and salt generously. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes so that the salt brings out the tomato juices.
Add the remaining ingredients and season to taste.
TIPS:
If the tomatoes aren't acidic enough, add a few dashes of red wine vinegar at the end.
Chopped fresh parsley or dried oregano are also nice additions.
Love this served with - what else? - a chunk of feta on the side!
