Black-eyed peas are one of the few truly American good-luck foods for New Year's Day. Eating them on this day is traditional in the South, where a coin is sometimes cooked with the peas, foretelling riches throughout the coming year. Ingredients:
2 cups cooked or canned black-eyed peas
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into narrow l-inch strips
2 scallions, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons apple juice or cider juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon, to taste
1 clove garlic, crushed, optional
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
