For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño peppers before dicing. You can also substitute with a milder pepper like poblano. Feel free to experiment with different types of Italian dressing. A creamy Italian or a balsamic vinaigrette can add a unique twist. This caviar can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or use as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.

Jun 12, 2025The overnight chilling makes all the difference. The flavors really come together, and it's so much better than when you just throw it all together.
