Up your snack game with this quick and colorful recipe for Texas caviar that can be a dip, salad topping, taco filling and more. My family has always gone for the rainbow version, sneaking in veggies of every color to round out the bowl. Jalapeno provides a kick, but you can remove the seeds or omit it altogether for less heat.
