Avocado Tomato and Olive Salsa

This is a HEARTY and oh-so-delicious salsa/salad/dip (I can not really decide what to consider it). Great on tortilla chips or right off of a spoon!! It's a good idea to soak your diced avacados briefly in a little lemon juice right after prepping to help retain the nice color...

SERVES 8 , 8 servings (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2 avocados (ripe but still firm, diced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 2 cups grape tomatoes (quartered)
  • 1/2 medium red onion (chopped, may substitute green onion...very tasty as well)
  • 1 cup black olives (sliced, or green olives...your preference)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1 lime (juice of)
  • 1/4-1/2 cup Italian dressing (for some reason Wishbone Robust seems to work particularly well....but your favorite will certainly )

Directions

  1. 1
    Toss everything together gently, chill for a couple of hours and serve with tortilla chips!

    Oh my! Was this ever good! We devoured the dish along with steak. The flavours are fresh and the colours beautiful together. I squeezed some lemon over the avocados after dicing and it seemed to do the trick. They were still green after 3 hours in the fridge. I only omitted the olives (we are not olive fans). We will definitely make this again. Made for 1-2-3 hits

    I was skeptical of the italian dressing with this salsa but was pleasantly surprised! All the flavors worked together very well. I served this as an appetizer for a dinner party...everyone scooped this up and asked for the recipe.
