Notes

For maximum flavor, chill cowboy caviar for about an hour before serving to allow flavors to meld., Soaking chopped red onion briefly in cold water can mellow its bite., Use fresh herbs and ripe tomatoes for the best taste., Serve with crunchy tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos or grilled meats, or alongside grilled chicken or fish., Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to three days. No reheating needed.
