COWBOY CAVIAR

Prepare the Dressing:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.

2. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Add the Finishing Touches:

2. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper as desired.

Serve and Enjoy:

1. Transfer the Cowboy Caviar to a serving bowl or platter.
2. Garnish with additional cilantro leaves or lime wedges for a pop of color and freshness.
3. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.
