Fresh & Flavorful Cowboy Caviar
Packed with flavor and beautiful colors, this salsa will be a hit at your next BBQ this summer. Put it out with some organic corn tortilla chips, and watch it disappear within minutes! The macros do not include the crackers you choose to serve this with but instead are based on a 3.5 oz / 100g serving.
Chef Tips:
- The dressing is the star of the show here, but if you think it might be too spicy for the kids, leave the cayenne pepper out of the dressing and do not include the jalapeno in the salsa.
- Rinsing the red kidney beans from the can juice is important.
- If you are using convenient frozen corn kernels, be sure to defrost them thoroughly before using.
