Reserve 4 olive slices; sprinkle remaining olives over salsa. Reserve 1/4 cup cheese; sprinkle remaining cheese over olives. Spoon beans in center of plate; spread to 6-inch circle to resemble head of scarecrow. Sprinkle lettuce around beans.
2 Cut 1 tomato in half; place each half on scarecrow, cut side up, to resemble eyes. Add remaining tomato to resemble nose. Place 1 reserved olive slice on each “eye” to resemble pupil. Cut the remaining olive slices in half and arrange the pieces to resemble mouth.
3 Arrange tortilla chips to resemble a hat on the scarecrow’s head. Arrange the reserved cheese to come out from under the hat and at the bottom of the face to resemble straw. Serve dip with tortilla chips. Store dip in refrigerator.

made this along w/other appetizers like the brooms w/cheese and shredded wheat crackers,smile bites w/apple,PB and miniature marshmallows as a trial run and was such a hit particularly since everything could be served w/out heating and we had record-breaking temps today,so using stove or oven out of the question today!

This was very easy to make and was delicious to eat. I would recommend this dip to everyone. It was a real hit at the halloween party I went too.
