Ingredients

2 (4 1/4 ounce) cans black olives, chopped
2 (4 ounce) cans green chilies, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, seeded & chopped
3 green onions, with tops, chopped
2 garlic cloves, mashed and chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced (optional)
3 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon pepper
1 dash seasoning salt

Steps:

Combine all ingredients, except tomatoes (see notes) and chill overnight.
My notes:
Add the tomatoes right before serving to avoid making the dish too watery as they marinate overnight.
I prefer a medium (to fine) chop to the ingredients.
I would add jalapenos for heat.
Serve with Corn Chips for scooping.
