Moving box meal in 20

If you just closed on your mortgage and the moving van has just left then I am sure the family is hungry. You ask yourself what to eat?…. You think of all the fast food you have eaten over the past week and decide you need something homemade. Then make a quick Szechuan Black Eyed Pea Salad. I have made it several times over the years. I discovered it in my Vegetarian Times Magazine. It is also great wrapped up in a tortilla.

It is the perfect combination of ingredients that requires little preparation and money. It only requires you to find the following items in the kitchen boxes ( I am sure that you have it labeled.)

Kitchen items needed: Cutting board, knife, can opener, bowls, strainer and forks.

Ingredients required:

2 – 14 oz canned black-eyed peas, rinsed and strained

1 medium green pepper (any pepper will work)

½ cup chopped red onion

1 jalapeno Chile seeded and finely minced

1 clove of garlic- minced

1 avocado- cubed ( 1 cup)

2 TBS Lemon Juice

¼ cup olive oil

3 TBS red wine vinegar

1 TBS Szechuan sauce

2 tsp sugar



Toss together black-eyed peas, bell pepper, onion, jalapeño and garlic in a large bowl. Toss avocado with lemon juice in a separate bowl (if you only have one bowl then you should be fine adding it all together). Add avocado mixture to black-eyed pea mixture.

Whisk together oil, vinegar, Szechuan sauce and sugar in bowl used for avocado. Add black-eyed pea mixture and toss to mix.

Last step: flip over that empty box and use as a table.

It is even healthy for you… Per serving (3/4 cup) 223 cal, 5G prot, 14 G total fat, 20 G carb, o MG chol, 438MG salt, 6G fiber, 3 G sugars
