New Year, New You.

There is nothing like tradition to start off the new year, especially when that tradition is to bring good luck. Black-eyed peas are thought to bring prosperity to the new year and with something this tasty, who am I to break tradition?

Ingredients:

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tsp chopped fresh oregano

4 cups peeled & diced cucumbers

1 14oz can black-eyed peas (rinsed)

2/3 cup diced red bell pepper

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup slivered red onion

2 tbsp chopped black olives

ground pepper to taste

Directions: Whisk oil, lemon juice, oregano and pepper in a large bowl, until combined. Add cucumber, black-eyed peas, bell pepper, feta, onion and olives; toss to coat. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Enjoy!
