Get ready for our delicious Cowboy Salad! If you’re a fan of our Cowboy Caviar or Cowboy Pasta Salad, you’ll be thrilled with this dish. Resembling the pasta variant, minus the noodles, this is a nutritionally rich, flavor-packed salad. It’s more than just a bunch of greens – it’s a splendid mix of various ingredients, with romaine lettuce as the foundation.
In this flavorful blend, lettuce is the first entrant, followed by corn, black beans, cherry tomatoes, cheddar cheese, avocado, red bell pepper, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro. A combination of these elements provides a multitude of tastes, along with protein, healthy fats, and vital nutrients. Dressed with a whisked mayo, barbecue, mustard, Worcestershire, lime juice concoction, this salad delivers a satisfying meal that keeps you content and healthy. We eagerly anticipate this salad every week and ensure leftovers for the next few days, and we’re thrilled to introduce this to you.
Should you wish to go for a lighter dressing, you may choose an Italian vinaigrette or lemon and olive oil option. However, we’re fans of the amalgamation of BBQ sauce, mustard, and Worcestershire with a hint of lime for a fresh twist and mayo for a creamy texture. We believe this dressing takes the salad’s taste to a new level. So, don’t settle for a mundane meal – switch things up with this zesty, overflowing salad instead!
