Black Eyed Pea Salad

"This recipe is unique and delicious! For starters, the vinaigrette features sorghum syrup. Sorghum syrup – often called sorghum molasses – is very common in the Southern US. This thick, golden syrup is used to sweeten recipes. It’s similar to molasses and honey, but with more depth of flavor. I recommend trying it if you’ve never had the chance! In addition to the sorghum, the vinaigrette also features a bit of grated Vidalia onion. Oh, and then there’s bourbon, too! All of these ingredients combine to create a rather tasty (and easy to make) vinaigrette. We enjoyed the vinaigrette over this Black Eyed Pea Salad, but we also used the leftovers on a leafy green salad. It was a fun way to mix things up a bit, and I suspect we’ll be making this vinaigrette regularly now. (It’s great for when you’re entertaining and want to serve something slightly different and unique!)"
