How to Make Nelda's Cheese Salsa
- Prepare Good Seasons Italian dressing according to package directions, using vinegar, water, and oil.
- In a medium bowl, combine 8 oz (225g) shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese), 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained, 1/2 cup sliced black olives, 1/4 cup chopped green chilies, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
- Pour the prepared Good Seasons Italian dressing over the cheese mixture.
- Gently stir to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. (Refrigerate longer for a colder, firmer salsa).
- Serve chilled with wheat thins or tortilla chips. Adjust olive quantity to your preference – more is always welcome!
- For the best flavor and texture, use a block of cheese and shred it yourself.
