Step 3: Combine the Salad
Pour the dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly. Make sure every bean and vegetable piece is lightly coated in the dressing for maximum flavor.
Step 4: Chill and Marinate
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together. For best results, marinate for 2-4 hours. The longer it sits, the more flavorful it becomes.
Step 5: Serve
Serve Cowgirl Caviar chilled or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or as a side salad. Garnish with extra cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness.
Tips for the Perfect Cowgirl Caviar
- Customize the beans: Try adding chickpeas or kidney beans for a different texture.
- Add avocado: Dice avocado just before serving for a creamy touch.
- Make it spicier: Keep some jalapeño seeds for extra heat.
- Meal prep friendly: Cowgirl Caviar keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days, making it perfect for weekly meal prep.
- Presentation matters: Serve in a clear glass bowl to showcase the vibrant colors of the vegetables.
