Step 1
Start by gathering a large bowl and adding in your black-eyed peas, diced red and yellow bell peppers, chopped onion, minced jalapeño chiles, fresh parsley, and minced garlic.

This colorful mix not only looks great but also packs a punch of flavor! In a smaller bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar.

Now, pour this delightful dressing over your vibrant vegetable mixture and gently toss everything together, ensuring each ingredient is beautifully coated.

Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 hours.

This resting time is crucial as it allows all those wonderful flavors to meld together, creating a salad that’s bursting with taste.

When you’re ready to serve, fold in the crumbled bacon, distributing it evenly throughout the salad for that perfect finishing touch.
