2 small cans diced green chilis
2 small cans chopped olives
1 tomato, diced
1 bunch scallions, chopped (about 6 stalks)
2 tsp. garlic salt
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. red wine vinegar

Peach Dipping Sauce

INGREDIENTS
1 c. peach preserves
3 T. rice wine vinegar
2 T. Dijon mustard
1 T. grated fresh ginger
1 tsp. red pepper flakes

DIRECTIONS
Combine all ingredients and refrigerate for several hours to allow flavors to blend.

*I have also used apricot preserves. And, if you cannot find rice wine vinegar; use 1 1/2 T. rice vinegar and 1 1/2 T. wine vinegar. Add more red pepper flakes if you like a little more kick.
