Classic Texas Caviar

For a first-course salad, allow about 1/4 cup per serving; for a main-course salad, about 1/2 cup per serving.

Prep: 15 min

Cooling time: 2 hrs refrigerating

Yields: 16 servings, 1/4 cup each

Easy to make, but needs a kick.

This recipe results in a very colorful mix of veggies and beans, however it ended up tasting a little sweet and not spicy at all. Maybe my jalapenos were on the mild side, but next time I'm adding more!.
