Black-eyed beans are the perfect ingredient for hearty, delicious, and nutritious salads, especially when paired with bacon, or, as in this recipe, Canadian bacon, which is more like ham. The salad is dressed with a tart vinaigrette, and watercress adds juiciness and a piquant tang. If you can't find black-eyed beans, use any other type—it'll be just as delicious!
