The other day my best friend and I were getting the food ready for my baby girl’s first Birthday party. She mentioned that she wanted to serve chips and salsa, which of course I thought was an excellent idea. She then proceeded to say that she had a new salsa recipe… which perhaps a little Italian twist to it. If you know me, you know I love to try anything at least once. That way if I like it I know to get it again and if I don’t, I know not to get it again!!
Her salsa recipe was a little different than any salsa I’d every made. So again, I decided to share it with you. This one is a a great one to add to the recipe book.
Ingredients:
5 large stalks of green onions
4 small cans of petite diced tomatoes
5 small cans of diced/minced black olives
3 small cans of diced green chilies
1/2 cup of olive oil
4-5 small cloves of garlic
1 TBSP of salt
1 TSP of black pepper
the juice from 1 lime
Mix all of these ingredients in a bowl that will be able to fit in your refrigerator. The salsa needs to sit in the fridge for at least 1/2 before serving it.
For those that decided to try this recipe and give it a whirl, please feel free to comment back with what you think…

I’m sure it’s good, but you lost me at the word ‘cans’.

it looks kinda gross but I just might have to try it. Did you love it, kinda like it or hate it?

It does look very gross, but I really liked it. I think everyone should try it at least once. It you don’t like, well.. at least you tried it!

Brian – If you would rather use fresh produce, of course you can substitute. I normally use the fresh instead of canned, however, this was my friends recipe, and I wanted to make sure it would turn out the same for everyone! If you do make it, let me know what you think.

Since it only has green chilies, I’m not sure that I’d call this a salsa! Green chilies are good, but they’re not hot. I’d ditch the olives and instead add real chilies (e.g., serrano, jalapenos) as well as chopped cilantro and a little lemon or lime juice.
