Cowboy Caviar is a deliciously fresh bean salad with a colorful mix of beans and vegetables, plus a zesty lime dressing.
Instructions
1
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 2 Tbsp of juice from the lime, balsamic vinegar, chili powder, cumin, salt, and sugar.
2
Rinse and drain both cans of beans in a colander. Once well drained, transfer them to a large bowl.
3
Finely dice the bell pepper, tomatoes, jalapeño, and red onion. Try to dice the vegetables into pieces that are roughly the same size as the beans. For a less spicy salad, scrape the seeds out of the jalapeño before dicing. Roughly chop the cilantro.
4
Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the beans.
5
Pour the dressing over the salad, then stir until everything is well coated. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to eat.
