Our Loaded Cowboy Salad is inspired by our popular dip, Cowboy Caviar, which is typically served with chips like salsa. In this version, the tasty dip is transformed into a delicious salad.
Whenever I’m asked to bring a salad to an event, I always feel a bit anxious. I’m particular about what I bring and want to ensure it’s really good. That’s why I constantly experiment with new salad recipes each year, like Caprese Salad, Elote Salad, Broccoli Salad, and my favorite King and I-style macaroni salad.
