Cowboy Caviar

This quick salad goes with almost everything. Put our new Classic Ikon Asian Utility Knife 12 cm to the test with a simple, finely chopped salad that couldn’t be easier to prepare once you have the right tools. Thanks to its slightly wider blade, distinctly pointed tip, and agile cutting edge, this knife allows you to chop peppers, onions, and tomatoes like a pro. The result? A fresh, versatile salad or dip that tastes great with tortilla chips, grilled proteins, or just as it is for a light summer meal.

Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 2 medium tomatoes or a handful of cherry tomatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 1 handful of fresh cilantro, chopped

Optional – to taste:

  • 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (for heat)
  • 1/2 avocado, diced
  • 1 to 2 spring onions, finely chopped

For the dressing:

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cumin or chili powder

Directions

  1. Chop and combine: Chop the vegetables and place them in a large bowl together with the beans and corn.

  2. Make the dressing: Mix the dressing ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl.

  3. Bring it together: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  4. Season to taste: Adjust the seasoning to suit your personal taste.
    Pro Tip: Fold in the avocado just before serving to keep it fresh.

    We hope you enjoy our new Classic Ikon Asian Utility Knife 12 cm. And above all: enjoy your meal!
