Method

  • Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. For best results, chill over night. Makes about 10 cups.
  • "Bad Dad's" Note: Time-saving tip is to chop ingredients using a Sonoma Williams or other hand food chopper that does little squares. Also good served over chilled shrimp. Makes a 'cool' summer for my 'cool' family and friends!
