This is my one claim to cooking fame. I had this recipe published in Southern Living magazine years ago. Don't let the long list of ingredients intimidate you, it's pretty much just a matter of chopping it all in a food processor.

Steps:

Great antipasto. If you use a food processor to chop, be careful not to liquefy. Cook time includes chill time.
