This Southern classic got a Pacific NW twist with Calico Fish Rub in the dressing. Before I lose you, the Calico Fish Rub's ingredients just make sense. It’s spicy from the Korean chile flakes and citrusy and fresh from the dill weed and sumac. Once combined with the good mustard and brown sugar, the dressing is balanced and full of flavor that will infuse into the kale and black-eyed peas.
