Ingredients:  
For the salad:
½ cup dried black-eyed peas rinsed
Kosher salt
½ cup Basmati rice
1 tsp minced garlic
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
⅓ cup Spanish olives, halved

For the dressing:
2 Tbsp dijon mustard (the original recipe calls for coarse-grain, but I prefer the smooth)
4 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp honey (I omit this in mine)
1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Directions:
Prepare the salad: Put the peas in a saucepan with 3 cups water and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil and cook 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour. Drain, then return to the saucepan with 1 cup fresh water. Bring to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until just al denté, about 10 minutes. Let cool in the liquid.
Meanwhile, put the rice in another saucepan with 1½ cups water and the garlic. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook 16 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool, then fluff with a fork.
Make the dressing: Whisk the mustard, vinegar, olive oil, honey, cilantro, ½ tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper in a non reactive bowl. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Assemble the salad: Drain the peas and toll with the rice in a large bowl. Add the onion, bell pepper and olives, then add the dressing and toss. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Personal Notes:
Several (actually most) of my children do not like black-eyed peas, but they were more receptive to this dish. As you all know, black-eyed peas are an absolute necessity the first day of the new year.
