Cowboy caviar

Make the base once. Change the personality every time you eat it.

A versatile Plant Base foundation.

Base ingredients

  • 1 can (15 ounces) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1½ cups corn
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped

Simple dressing

  • Lemon juice
  • Rice vinegar

Make it

Combine the beans, corn, tomatoes, bell pepper and red onion in a large bowl. Add lemon juice and rice vinegar to taste and toss gently.

Refrigerate the base, then season and customize individual portions when you're ready to eat.

Make it yours

Add olives, banana peppers, roasted red peppers, jalapeño, avocado, cucumber, feta, hemp hearts, artichoke hearts or chopped walnuts.

Add garlic, herbs, salt and pepper when serving rather than seasoning the entire batch. That keeps the foundation neutral, so yesterday's flavor doesn't decide what you're eating today.

Serve with

Greens, rice, grains, tortilla chips, wraps—or simply eat it as a bowl.

Eat. Learn. Live. with purpose.

Good food is only part of a rich life. Make something you enjoy, share it with someone you care about, and make time for the things that matter.

Self. Others. Purpose.

Remember what makes you wealthy.
