Texas Caviar

This is super good, it's already half gone as you can see. I make this and Trevor and I eat it all week long. It's good with chips or all by itself and its a good excuse to eat healthy food. This is something I came across the past couple of months, Alecia also makes it with avocado in it, that makes it even better. It's not a tradition I just wanted to share it.
