Recipe from cookthink
This is a simple and rustic black-eyed pea and potato salad you might find as a light side for a Sunday lunch in the South. You could make it more traditional by cooking the peas with some ham hock or fat back.

instructions
1. Prep all the ingredients. Combine the potato and salt in a medium saucepan and barely cover with water. Bring to a boil then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the parsley, cilantro, garlic and vinegar. Drizzle in the oil in a thin stream, constantly whisking until the dressing emulsifies.
3. Combine the peas, tomatoes and potatoes in a large bowl. Add a little of the dressing at a time until the vegetables are coated but not drenched. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
