Gazpacho Dip Recipe

Hi Ladies! A friend of mine just sent me this recipe. I love it! Every time she makes it, I eat more than I should :-) Thought I'd share it with you all. I will try to get my other menu item recipes posted later today.

Gazpacho Dip

3 Tablespoons vegetable oil

1½ Tablespoons cider vinegar

1¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 (4½ oz) can chopped black olives, undrained

1 (4½ oz) can chopped green chilies, undrained

4 ripe avocadoes, peeled and diced

3 medium tomatoes, finely chopped

5 green onions, finely chopped

Fresh cilantro, to taste

Combine oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic in a small jar. Cover tightly and shake vigorously. Set aside.

Combine chopped olives, green chilies, avocado, tomato, and green onions in a large bowl. Stir well. Pour oil mixture over vegetables, stirring gently to combine. Cover and chill 3 hours. (Note, I think it tastes better the longer it sits, so sometimes I make it the night before.)

Yields 7 cups

I made this one last night and left out the oil. It tasted great without the oil, so it's fine to save some calories and leave it out :-)
