About the recipe

I was dining at an amazing Mediterranean restaurant called The Lazy Goat in Greenville, South Carolina.

They had a Greek black-eyed pea salad on the menu.

The name of the salad was "Lazy Man's Greek Salad."

I was so intrigued by the name, I had to order it.

I had never had the Black Eyed Peas mixed with the fillings of a Greek Salad.

It was DELICIOUS!

I wasn't sure why it was called the "Lazy Man's Greek Salad."

It is quick and easy to throw together.

Maybe that is why it is the Lazy Man's salad?

While the restaurant's name for the dish was really cute, I decided to take on the more boring name of Greek Black Eyed Pea Salad.

I didn't want my recipe to be lost in the world of Google Search....

Regardless of my perplexity, the "Lazy Man's Greek Salad" was tasty enough to go home and try to recreate myself.

I could eat this stuff by the bowl fulls. I hope you enjoy it too!
