yum yum, I'll try it, if you'll try mine!!!

2 small tins of chopped black olives
1 small tin of green chilies
5 green onions, diced
2 medium tomatoes, peeled & diced ( I use 1 can of peeled diced tomatoes)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoon oil (olive or vegetable)
2 tablespoons of red wine vinagar
Mix together & chill overnight.

Oops, forgot the chilis! You can use either chopped serrano's (a tad spicy, but good) or canned diced green chilis. Must have the chilis in there!

beep

No, I don't. But it is high in fiber, and the olive oil is one of those essential oils.

beep

That sounds really good too! I love black olives, especially kalamatas. I forgot to add the chilis to my recipe. Must have those chilis in there to be a salsa salad!

Just wanted to say thanks for the recipe. I made this and it was so good! I used red wine vinegar and green onion. I also added sliced black olives and black eyed peas(rinsed), green peppers and a little cayenne pepper. I have tons left(kids don't do beans )

beep

Glad you enjoyed it, just don't forget the minced green chilis, or diced serrano peppers, or adding an already prepared fresh salsa! Sometimes I add a bit of diced avocado, but not if there are going to be leftovers, because then it gets mushy.

Just wanted to let you know I made this AGAIN for a potluck luncheon for the teachers at my children's school yesterday. There was none left and they were all relentlessly trying to track down who brought the salad so they could get the recipe. They said it was their favorite dish at the potluck!!!!
Ya did good with this one!!!!:flowerforyou:

beep

Thanks!!! I do love it. May have to make some tonight.

Do you serve this with baked chips?

I actually have all of the ingrediants to make this.

I just eat it like a cold side salad/dish. IMO It is better after it marinates for awhile.

Actually, I have been known to stick a tortilla chip into it now and then, but that was then and now I'm trying to stay away from those chips :-)

I made this yesterday, and it's very yummy..of course no one else in the family will touch it, so I guess it's all mine! LOL

BTY- I took 2 small tortillas, and baked them in the oven and used them to dip into the salsa....very good!

Guess it really is an adult dish, my kids won't eat it either, but all my friends will, including my very health conscious brother-in-law.
