Green Chile Salsa
My mom made a dish similar to this that we’d eat it with chips, I’m pretty sure it was supposed to be an appetizer but somehow it would turn into a main dish. Once you have one bite you just can’t stop. I’ve changed the recipe up and added to it over the years but the key ingredient has always been flavorful green chiles.
Mixed together with tomatoes, olives corn and avocado, each ingredient compliments each other and you’ll find yourself wanting to get a little of everything in every bite. This Green Chile Salsa tastes especially good after it’s been chilled in the fridge for a few hours so that all the flavors can combine.

Yum. I’ve had similar things but I’ve never quite heard of this before.
And yes, I’d probably just eat it as is, too. I’m going to have to make some of this soon.
Mmmmmm, sounds awesome! I think I’m going to try it without the corn (can’t have it :o( ), but I bet it will still be great. Thanks for sharing.
Yum….wonderful mix with a little zest tossed in. 😉
I think this would also be great with black beans instead of black olives.
I made this recently and the guys I shared it with were in seventh, snacky heaven. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. 🙂
Absoultly delicious!!!!! Perfect for super bowl
I made this to take to a 4th of July party. It was a huge hit! I served it cold with tortilla chips. Yum! This recipe is a keeper!
