If you love cowboy caviar, this pasta salad version is about to be your new go-to. It takes everything you already love about cowboy caviar, like fresh veggies, bold flavor, and that perfect tangy kick, and turns it into a dish that’s a little more filling and perfect for sharing. The addition of Red Gold Original Diced Tomatoes + Green Chilies brings just the right amount of heat and fresh, vine-ripened flavor to tie it all together. @holleyinthekitchen @thefeedfeed
