Tips

  • For an extra kick of heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeño pepper.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds before chopping.
  • Feel free to customize the recipe by adding or substituting other vegetables or herbs according to your taste preferences.
  • If you don’t have cannabis-infused olive oil, you can use regular olive oil and add your desired cannabis tincture or concentrate to the dressing.
  • Remember to start with a small portion and wait for the effects before consuming more.
  • The potency of your Cowboy Caviar will depend on the strength of your cannabis-infused olive oil.
  • It is always recommended to use edibles responsibly and avoid driving or operating machinery after consuming.

We are sure you are a perfect cook! Nonetheless, do remember to pay attention to the amount of Cowboy Caviar you consume: it should always be modified based on the strength of your product and the potency you desire. Dosing homemade edibles can be tricky, so it is strongly recommended to start with one portion of a serving. After one or two hours, listen to your body and decide whether to consume more. It is not recommended to drive or operate any machinery when taking edibles. Use responsibly!
