A Different Kind of Salsa

My church Lifegroup met at my house tonight, and I needed a savory appetizer that was interesting and quick to put together.  I thought of this salsa which I have made many times before for other gatherings.  It always garners an enthusiastic response and lots of questions because usually no one can totally figure out what's in it.  There are two requirements:  fresh ingredients and a rest in the refrigerator of at least 6 hours so that the flavors can blend.



Pepper Jack Salsa
Adapted from allrecipes.com
(click here to print)

1 or 2 ripe Haas avocados (black, bumpy skin), diced
5 green onions, thinly sliced
1 medium Roma tomato, diced
4 oz. can chopped green chiles
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
3 oz. chopped black olives (1/2 of a 6 oz. can)
8 oz. pepper jack cheese, finely shredded
1/2 cup bottled Zesty Italian salad dressing
salt and pepper to taste



Combine all of the above ingredients and mix gently but thoroughly.  Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.


Serve with tortilla chips and/or crackers.


The flavors in this Salsa will dance on your tongue!

    Oh, I love this! I've always liked trying the different kinds of salsas, one would think that wouldn't be as difficult as it is in Texas.
