Black eye pea with artichoke salad OR Ford-ham Lima bean with artichoke salad

I found this recipe for black eye pea salad here http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/black_eyed_pea_artichoke_salad.html

However I am on a special diet for a while so I made it with the black eyed peas for the guys, and I used Ford-ham Lima beans for me and they are both tasty. I used about 1/2 the recipe

Frozen artichoke hearts are great to have on hand for just this type of easy salad. If you can't find frozen, go for the canned variety but keep in mind that they do have added sodium. You can rinse them under cool water to remove some of the sodium.
