Layered Fiesta Dip

2 fully ripe avocados
2 Tablespoons Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
2 Tablespoons lime juice
3/4 cup thick salsa
1 cup shredded lettuce
3/4 cup Kraft Shredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses
3 green onions, chopped
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
2 Tablespoons sliced black olives

Mash avocados in a small bowl.  Add dressing and lime juice. .Mix well.  Spread onto plate.  Top with remaining ingredients.  Refrigerate 30 minutes or until chilled. Serve with corn chips.

TIM'S NOTES:  This recipe was nothing special, but it was easy, and nice and light, perfect for a very hot summer day when cooking was not very practical.  Ladies, this is probably not a dinner you would want to serve your hardworking husband for dinner, but it would make a light lunch or dinner for you and a friend!  Having said that, these recipes come from a Kraft magazine, thus the brand name.  You could probably substitute any other Italian dressing or cheeses.  I used a Mexican cheese blend.  Two important things to note (I learned these from experience!):  Make sure you use a nice thick salsa, or strain some of the juice off if necessary.  And get a nice thin shred on your lettuce.  It will be easier to eat that way!
