Squid and Black-Eyed Pea Salad

In a large saucepan, cover the black-eyed peas with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until the peas are nearly tender, about 30 minutes. Season generously with salt and cook until tender, about 10 minutes longer. Drain the peas and let cool.

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Add the squid to the boiling water and cook just until firm, about 30 seconds. Drain and immediately transfer the squid to the ice water to cool. Drain again and pat dry with a clean towel.

In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil with the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Add the squid, black-eyed peas, celery, shallots, tomato, parsley and tarragon. Toss well and serve.
