Instructions
- Whisk the dressing/vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl until they thicken up.
- Add all of the cowboy caviar ingredients to a large bowl and mix to combine.
- Stir in the dressing/vinaigrette. Make sure everything gets nice and evenly coated.
- Adjust for salt and pepper. Serve immediately with tortilla chips!
Notes
- Heat Factor: Mild-Medium.
- My goal here is NOT to make this overly spicy, but to have just the right amount of kick to it for the general spicy food lover. As mentioned, you CAN easily adjust this up for more heat, but the combination of jalapeno peppers, cayenne powder and spicy chili flakes gives this a blooming warmth that I LOVE. And it's freaking tasty as heck, too. Perfect.
