  • 1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
  • 1 (0.6 ounce) pack zesty Italian seasoning
  • 1 green onion, diced
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups finely shredded Colby Jack cheese (or cheddar cheese)

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: Place the diced tomatoes with green chilies, sliced black olives, zesty Italian seasoning, diced green onion, white vinegar, olive oil, and shredded cheese into a large bowl.
  2. Mix thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until they are well combined and evenly distributed.
  3. Serve or chill: You can serve the dip immediately for a fresh taste or cover the bowl and refrigerate it until ready to serve, which allows the flavors to meld for a more intense flavor.

  • Can be served with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
  • Prep ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to enhance flavor development.
