COWBOY CAVIAR PASTA SALAD
The popular, Texas-inspired cowboy caviar can take the form of dip, garnish, side dish and more, but in this recipe, it becomes a complete meal, and one that's much better than anything you'd find in the grocer's deli case. Packed with vegetables, beans and pasta, and dressed in a light and tangy dressing, it's flavorful, fresh and hearty enough to feed the whole family. And it comes in at a great price, since it can be made with leftover rotisserie chicken and seasonal vegetables-although frozen and canned work well, too! In the summertime, this cold salad is perfect dinner on a sticky night and a guaranteed potluck hit. Even better, it's easily made ahead. So next time you're in the kitchen, why not put on a pot of water to boil. With a few minutes of chopping, you can rustle up tonight's-or tomorrow's-dinner!
