Very delicious. Was looking for something with black-eyed peas for New Year's day that wasn't full of pork and lard, so I decided to try this. Everyone liked it a lot and it was completely eaten. Accidentally added too much cabbage because, lo and behold it yields TWENTY SERVINGS!!! It didn't make a difference though! The vinaigrette is wonderful. Make extra. I used canned beans but I'm sure it's even better with dried ones cooked from scratch!
Delicious. The arugula adds a good peppery bite that balances out the beans. I added black beans and wild rice, due to the fact they were in the fridge!
