Nice salad and easy to make. I took some of the other reviewers' advise and reduced the amount of sugar. I also reduced the amount of oil by about 1/3. My husband and I loved it, the kids were indifferent, but what do they know, they're kids. We will be having this salad again. THANK YOU.

    This is really outstanding! I'm always looking for yummy bean salads; this one is tasty and different. I actually used a 14-ounce can of black-eyed peas (with 3.5 servings listed on the label) and cut the recipe in half. I like the grated carrot in this; I pulled one right out of the garden and its sweetness was so perfect with the other ingredients. The green olives cut the sweetness of the dressing nicely; I had to add mine separately since the fiance doesn't like them, but he didn't miss them. Very nice contribution to RSC!!

    I made this for my bridge group & it drew raves! The salad has a marvelous blend of tastes..sweet, hot, sour, and salty. The salad was still delicious the next day. I did cut the jalapeno to 1/2 a pepper because this group does't like fiery! Thanks for a great new dish!
