Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, retaining a little grease in the pan.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Greens

    In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the chopped collard greens and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they are wilted and tender.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked black-eyed peas, cooked rice, sautéed collard greens, roasted corn, diced tomato, and diced onion.

  4. 4

    Add Bacon and Season

    Add the crispy bacon to the bowl and season with black pepper. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.

  5. 5

    Serve Warm

    Serve the salad warm, topped with crumbled cornbread.
