    Confetti Black-Eyed Pea & Brown Rice Salad for Good Fortune and Health

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on December 31, 2019 Dairy-Free Recipes, Salad

    According to tradition in the South, the first food you should eat on New Year’s Day should be black-eyed peas for luck and prosperity. We think this confetti black-eyed pea with rice salad will help you ring in a year of good health, too. It’s a plant-based dish that’s also gluten-free and allergy-friendly. The recipe is so well-balanced and such a good source of fiber and protein that you can enjoy it as a light main or a hearty side.

    This plant-based recipe keeps things very clean and simple. It’s a nutritious blend of whole grains, black-eyed peas, and vegetables with just a splash of olive oil. It’s a great option for just about anyone, including those on heavily restricted diets. But I do have a few tips to make this confetti black eyed-pea salad your own.

    Tips for Seasoning this Plant-Based Rice Salad

    • Salt – If you aren’t on a strict low-sodium diet, I recommend adding a little salt, to taste. You can start with just 1/8 teaspoon and add more as desired.
    • Salt-Free Seasoning – If you must stick to a relatively salt-free diet, you can still season with your favorite salt-free seasoning for a different flavor.
    • Spices – Don’t be afraid to consult your spice rack when tossing this recipe together. We love the basics, like garlic powder and onion powder, in plant-based dishes like this. But you might like some smoked paprika, chili powder, or other seasoning.
    • Hot Sauce – A few drops of Cholula or a squirt of sriracha would add a nice kick!
    • Vinaigrette – You can omit the oil and water, and drizzle in your favorite dairy-free vinaigrette, if preferred. Vogue Vinaigrette is a popular brand that’s made without added sugars, and so is Tessame’s.
    • Olive Oil – The recipe uses part extra-virgin olive oil, part water, to keep it low fat. If you prefer to add more richness to your diet, use 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and omit the water.
