The United Nations declared 2016 “The Year of the Pulse,” which includes dried peas, beans, lentils, and garbanzo beans. To change up this salad, you can substitute black beans, white beans, or garbanzo beans for the black-eyed peas. All these pulses are filled with muscle-building protein and healthy fat, which also makes for a satisfying meal. Chef’s note: Instead of dried peas, you may use 4 ½ cups precooked or canned black-eyed peas, no salt added, rinsed, and drained (about 2 1/2 15-oz cans).
