Notes
- Leave it to marinate: As it sits, the flavors of the cowboy caviar will meld, and the onion will lose some of the harsh ‘raw’ flavor.
- For mellow onion: Leaving the onion to soak in ice water for 10 minutes will help it mellow without needing a long marination period.
- Low-budget tip: Buying and preparing the beans from dry (rather than canned) can save you money in the long run. We recommend cooking big batches and storing extra in the freezer to use over multiple meals.
