Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, peanut oil, condensed tomato soup, and minced garlic until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the dressing is smooth.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked black-eyed peas, diced carrots, chopped onion, chopped green bell pepper, and chopped pimientos.
  3. Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to chill thoroughly.
  5. Give the salad a gentle stir before serving. Serve chilled on a bed of lettuce or alone as a side dish.
