Southern Redneck Caviar

Have fun with this dish. This is a great dish to experiment with, you can add or subtract ingredients to fit your personal taste. I have added black-eyed pea relish, jalapeños, and even pear relish on occasions, depending on my mood and what I had on hand. This is a fun dish and people of all ages love it.
