Yummy avacado salsa – addictive! (Jodi, Alana, and Jaden- Alana’s son)
This past weekend I went to my first ever Mom Camp. My friend invited a few ladies up to her amazing cabin for a girl retreat. We were up by Green Canyon in the middle of no where.
My children had just gotten home from their camps Thursday, when I approached them with the fact that I would be leaving for a night. They were put out a little bit until I pointed out it was my turn for "camp". I am grateful for the way in which I camped – easy and breezy with all conveniences accessible.
It was so beautiful, peaceful and serene. Once I got past the initial shock of the dead mice in the mice traps, I was committed to 24 hours of girl time. We chatted, ate delicious food, did projects, had great conversation, and relaxed. All without any interruptions! Definitely have to do that again (preferably sooner than later).
Try this yummy salsa, you won’t be disappointed…
Avocado Salsa
1 pkg. (16 oz) frozen corn, thawed
2 cans (2 1/4 oz) sliced olives, drained
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced – I use less
1/3 C olive or vegetable oil
1/4 C lemon juice
3 Tbsp white or cider vinegar
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 ripe avocados
In a large bowl, combine corn, olives, red pepper, and onion. In a small bowl, combine garlic, oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper, mix well. Pour over corn mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate over night. Just before serving, chop avocados and stir into salsa. Serve with tortilla chips. (duh) Servings: A Lot
