There has to be a bazillion different ways to make Texas Caviar. However, I was on a mission to find one that was the cleanest (void of store bought dressings) AND the tastiest version around. 

Did I find it? Well, I found a lot of them and finally whipped up this recipe which never lasts longer than 1 sitting at our house. We eat it as a snack or as a side in our lunch boxes!

My favorite parts about this Texas Caviar recipe: it’s made with real food, most people have these spices on hand and there is zero added sugar, Stevia or sweetener! Just give it a few hours to let the flavors meld and enjoy.
