start with seventy-seven cents


Last week avocados were a mere 77¢.  As in less than one dollar.
(You can imagine my delight)

While I adore the avocado in many forms, this unusual salsa is a definite favorite.  And it’s sooo easy!
First.  It has the avocado (see above).  Second.  Olives and cheese.  Avocados + olives + cheese = nummy!

MONTEREY JACK SALSA

2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
5 green onions, chopped
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced
1 large tomato, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, if it's not for you)
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
1/2 to 1 cup sliced black olives
1 cup zesty Italian dressing

Tortilla chips

Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl.  Allow some time in the refrigerator for the flavors to mingle, but go ahead and serve immediately if you just can’t wait :)

I told you it was easy.

    Hi! I tried to find a place to send you an email but I couldn't see one! Sorry if I'm just blind! Anyway, the scripture on my wall is ephesians 3:14 & 15...which seeing as you list the Bible as one of your favorite books I'm sure you can find it! :0) Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
