I thought this was good for a change of pace. However, next time I'll skip the olives and double the tomato and avocado. I also added a diced jalapeno and skipped the msg.

I just added some salt, and made my own yummy italian dressing. I loved all of the other ingredients and always have roasted chili's in the freezer.

This was very good and here are the changes I made: I only used about 1/4 cup dressing because that was all I had but I'd use 1/2 cup next time because it wasn't very juicy. I used jalapeno flavored sliced olives that I found and I left out the avocado because I made it ahead and thought it would turn brown. I thought shredded cheese would definitely make it look weird like other reviewers said so I cubed the cheese very small and it looked great. I mixed everything, except the cheese, the night before, then added the cheese a couple hours before serving. Even my husband who hates onions and tomatoes loved it and said, don't change a thing!

I left out the MSG and we still thought this was very, very salty. It's a good change of pace, though.

This was really tasty. I am only giving it a 4 instead of a 5 because after it sat over night, the mix of olives and avocado turned the salsa a very unappetizing dark brown/black color. It still tasted great, it just didn't look that good. I doubled this recipe when I made it, and I only used a total of one cup of zesty italian dressing. This was plenty. I may or may not try this again.... We shall see.

We have made this salsa several times with variations and love it! It is very flavorful and can be adjusted to any taste. We generally add jalepenos and omit the chiles and olives. We sometimes add corn for fiesta taste. Great recipe for potlucks and snacking. Thanks for sharing!
