Directions
1.
In a large saucepan cook black-eyed peas, covered, in lightly salted boiling water for 40 minutes or until tender. Drain. Rinse with cold water until beans feel cold. Drain well.
2.
Place whole green onions on a platter and arrange salad greens on top. Top with radishes. Spoon peas over radishes. Sprinkle all with coarse salt. Serve with Caramelized Sweet Onion Vinaigrette. Makes 8 side-dish servings.

Caramelized Sweet Onions Vinaigrette
In a medium to large covered skillet cook 1 large sweet onion, chopped (1 cup), in 1 tablespoon cooking oil over medium-low heat for 13 to 15 minutes or until onions are tender, stirring occasionally. Uncover; cook and stir over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes more or until onions are golden. Remove from heat; set aside to cool. In a small bowl whisk together 1/2 cup salad oil, 1/2 cup cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir in onion mixture. Cover and chill up to 1 week. Makes about 1-1/2 cups.
