Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 4 cups green beans trimmed and sliced in half
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • 1 15.5 oz can black eyed peas drained and rinsed

For the dressing:

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic minced or pressed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  • Add ~½ cup of water to a large skillet and add the green beans. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, cover, and cook for approximately 3 minutes or until green beans are tender (but still slightly crunchy). Remove from heat and drain.
  • In a large bowl, combine the green beans, tomatoes, and black eyed peas.
  • To prepare the dressing, combine ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Add more dill or lemon juice to taste. Pour over the salad and mix until the veggies and black eyed peas are coated. 
  • Enjoy! This usually keeps well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
