A Recipe: Texas Caviar

A friend Alison brought this to work one day to share with the girls and
it was delicious.  I would like to share it with my blog friends.  This is great to take to a cookout, or wherever!  You can double the recipe easily and it is so good to be so simple.  Hope you'll try it and love it like I did!
