Texas Caviar

A couple of months ago, I was at a baby shower and tasted something in-cred-i-ble.  When I asked what it was, someone replied, "Girl, that's Texas Caviar!!"  After going on and on about it, a lady from church took the hint brought me some.  She had it all dolled up in a mason jar wrapped in red and white gingham ribbon.  So cute (special touches go a long way with me).  Plus, she included the recipe.

If you are a dipper (you know what I mean) like me, you should try it.
