Increasingly, people are wanting to get together again and to celebrate. Summer is the perfect time to enjoy friends and food outdoors. What is easier than chips and dip? A painless homemade dip is this five-ingredient salsa. No laboring over the stove. Just chop a few jalapeños and an onion before opening cans and bottles. Italian dressing adds a sheen and surprising vinegar to this salsa that can feed a crowd. Canned crushed tomatoes, olives and chopped onions round out the flavor. Add more jalapeños if you like heat. There are many variations that are good: add beans, corn or cilantro to make it to your taste. Happy salsa!
