Notes

  • You can definitely use canned beans for this recipe. I would just make sure to rinse them well and even dry them off a bit. 
  • Cowboy caviar should be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. (A glass container will help keep it fresher for longer.)
  • This easy bean salad can be kept in the fridge for 3-5 days. This recipe calls for avocado though, so if you do plan on storing it for more than two days then I would keep the avocado separate and just add a bit to each serving as you go.
