This is the best Cowboy Caviar I have had. The dressing is homemade and makes it so much better than using salad dressing. This recipe can be modified in many ways by adding various vegetables. Enjoy!

Directions
Step 1
Mix the oil, sugar, and vinegar together and boil. Cool in the refrigerator.
Step 2
While the dressing is cooling, in a large bowl, mix together all the other ingredients.
Step 3
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture. Cover and chill.
Step 4
I also have used chopped tomatoes in this and plain corn if I couldn't find Mexicorn. I prefer using the canned jalapenos as they are easier to chop. Add to your taste. I really like cilantro so I put quite a bit in it. This dish is best if refrigerated overnight. Serve with Frito Scoops!
