Cowboy Caviar

There are many different Cowboy Caviar recipes, but this one is my favorite. I got this recipe from a friend a few years ago. I usually serve it with tortilla chips, but you can also serve it as a side dish or as a salsa with chicken or fish. I decided to post the recipe on 'Zaar so I will never lose it! Note: the cooking time is chill time.
