Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1/2 cup black-eyed peas

  • 4 ounces butter lettuce

  • 1 leek, white part chopped

  • 1 gourd, peeled and chopped

  • 1 carrot, peeled and chopped

  • 1/2 beet, peeled and thinly sliced

  • 1 pomegranate, seeds removed from peel

Directions

Prepare the Salad

1.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.

Put the black-eyes peas in a small pot and generously cover with water. Boil on high for 30–40 minutes or until soft but not mushy. Rinse and drain.

3.

Prepare a baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper and add leek, gourd and carrot. Drizzle with four tablespoons olive oil and a half teaspoon salt. Mix well and put in the oven for 35 minutes or until golden.

4.

In a jar add remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and salt and mix well. In a large bowl add the lettuce, beet, pomegranate, dates and apple slices. Add leek, gourd, carrots, and black-eyed peas. Mix with dressing right before serving. Serve warm or room temperature.

Notes:

Be sure that the leek, gourd and carrots are all chopped to the same size so they cook evenly and don’t burn.

I would use butternut squash. It’s the most hearty of the gourds and acts a lot like a sweet potato.
