Texas Caviar

I love dips. The problem is, they are normally so creamy or cheesy that I just can't eat them (or I do and then feel sick). I always like to bring healthy dips to a party so I know there is something I can eat. This has been one of my favorite dips for years. I love it because it is made out of ALL healthy ingredients and basically contains all the veggies and is easy to prepare ahead of time. To keep the healthy theme going, I usually bring Baked Tostitos Scoops to serve along with this dip.
