Yesterday, I made cowboy caviar. [†]
Which made me think: "
Cowboy caviar?" Maybe it's another sneaky rural deception about ingredients, like "mountain
oysters"? "Could it be
fried ovaries from cows or ewes?"
But
wait ! Isn't V.C.R. up in the
urban sprawl of the (U.S.) Northeast, far from farms? Maybe such body parts are for sale by ethnic butchers? And how would such a dish be considered
plant based?
Well ! Ixquick--certainly
not google--is my friend:

which encodes the same search as typing the following into the Ixquick search-box:
"cowboy caviar" +recipe +vegan
Yielding,

It's somewhat like making the ingredients of a spiced-up black-bean soup (
frijoles negros) into an uncooked salad.
The recipe above is at least somewhat distinctive, because to its credit, it doesn't use
commercial "Italian dressing", whose brands are typically adulterated with high-fructose corn syrup, especially in those varieties sold with the deceptive marketing label "
low fat". But I am surprised that the recipe above has
no oil [÷] in its dressing.

Note ÷: For salads, oil would customarily be mixed 3:1 or 4:1 (or thereabouts) to vinegar.
