Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.

Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetable and black-eyed pea mixture, gently tossing everything together until all ingredients are well combined and coated.
