"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
This is such a delicious salad! I have also used frozen Black eyed peas and cooked until just tender. In a pinch you can even use canned Black eyed peas but they must be well drained and rinsed with water. We call this Good luck salad because when we lived in the south every one ate back eyed peas on New Years for good luck in the coming year. Well my ex-wife Kathleen and Derek never cared much for the New Years traditional food so after I had tried this recipe out on a pot luck and everyone loved it I started making it for New Years so that my family could have good luck too, hence Derek coined the name, Good Luck Salad!
