Texas Caviar

My husband and I just got back from a week in Florida where the weather was well into the 80's and 90's. Summer can't get here fast enough. I'm already looking forward to barbecue worthy food! I can't wait for the get togethers we'll have this year eating our fresh watermelon and basking in the sun. My favorite! This year I'll have watermelon in one hand and texas caviar in the other because this recipe is definitely going on the menu! It would also be a perfect addition to a Mother's Day buffet this weekend.
