TEXAS COWBOY CAVIAR

This is the recipe used at Estelle's

when serving this delicious and refreshing Texas Caviar.

It is marvelous for tailgating , as well as 

spring and summer barbecues.

Some recipes use bottled Italian dressing,

but this dressing is lighter and simply better

as it's homemade and tangy!

My guys love this with a cold beer

and 

the ladies love it along with a margarita!
