This Make-Ahead Summer Salad Is an Ingenious Upgrade to My Favorite Pantry Staple

Here, earthy, savory black-eyed peas are the star of this dish, but the seasonal produce — avocado, cherry tomatoes, corn, and cucumbers — in addition to the fresh cilantro, are what really brings this bright summer salad to life. And it comes together with a punchy lime vinaigrette. This summer salad goes with practically everything, from grilled salmon to tender chicken kebabs. It also makes for a chill-yet-impressive summer potluck addition. Personally, my favorite way to enjoy this salad is as a dip for plantain chips with a few extra splashes of hot sauce, of course.
