STEP 3 — Make the Dressing
In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake together:
- Olive oil
- Red wine vinegar
- Lime juice
- Honey
- Garlic powder
- Chili powder
- Cumin
- Salt & pepper
The result is a sweet-tangy-spicy dressing that ties everything together.
💡 Honey helps balance acidity and adds that classic Cowgirl Caviar sweetness.
STEP 4 — Combine Everything
- Pour the dressing over the large bowl of vegetables and beans.
- Gently toss to coat everything evenly.
- Add the fresh cilantro and mix again.
Let the mixture sit in the fridge for at least 20–30 minutes so the flavors meld beautifully.
STEP 5 — Add the Avocado (Right Before Serving)
Dice the avocado and gently fold it into the caviar.
This keeps the avocado fresh, creamy, and vibrant instead of turning mushy.
