- 1 Cup greens like spinach, baby kale, or sweet dandelion, chopped
- ¼ Cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper (optional)

Directions
- If using dried black-eyed peas, place them in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil; then reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid, tilting lid slightly to let some steam escape
- Cook for an hour, or until peas are tender
- While black-eyed peas are still hot and steaming, mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, tossing to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- If using canned black-eyed peas, just drain, rinse and heat on stovetop over medium heat with all other ingredients until warmed through (5-6 minutes)
- Garnish with dill, if using
- Serve warm or cold
