Hello all! I thought I might start sharing some of my fav recipes with you on a more regular basis. I will come across certain food blogs and get sucked in for hours. After all that time, I usually do end up making a dish or two. Anyway, this first one is an original recipe, as in, I got it from my momma and I don't know it's lineage.
GREEK DIP
You start out by chopping one avocado (sometimes I use two), two plum tomatoes, 1/2 small (3.8 oz.) jar of black olives and 1/2 c. red onion. DON'T CHOP YOUR FINGER! (slight hint, of course, I've never done this myself.)
Put all dat in a bowl.
Then, you whisk together 1/2 tbsp. red wine vinegar and 1 tbsp. olive oil.
Once that is combined, add it to the bowl o' veggies (aka, the tomato mixture - wait, if tomato is a fruit, is it the bowl o' fruit and veggies?) Stir/mix gently to combine. You don't want to make the avocado a mushy mess.
After that, you will want to mince some garlic. The recipe calls for one clove, but, really, I scoff at that. To me, one means three! But, maybe you and your guests don't agree - up to you! Chop some fresh herbs : 1 tbsp. fresh parsley and 1/2 tsp. fresh oregano.
Add the garlic and herbs to the dressed vegetables. Finally, add 4 ounces of crumbled feta cheese. Serve with tortilla chips. Yum! Is it lunchtime yet?
Here is the recipe in a more condensed version:
