This is excellent, fresh-tasting salsa. I did halve the amount of salt because I was using quite fine grained sea salt. I also substituted green chilies that are more easily available for me. Still delicious. Will definitely make again and again. Thank you very much for sharing another wonderful recipe with us.

Delicious! My daughter's Girl Scout troop made this for their Service Unit's International Festival (their troop picked Chile as their country to represent) and served it with tortilla chips. The kids at the Festival loved it and some were eating it with spoons -- no chips! Several adults wanted the recipe because they gave it a THUMBS UP!

This salsa is absolutely fantastic! We made it to take to a family BBQ and were looking for a recipe that would use up some of the tomatoes from our garden. I doubled the ingredients of the recipe, while keeping the oil to 1/4 cup. I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. This recipe had a wonderful fresh flavor and was enjoyed by all. I received many compliments. Thanks for a real keeper!
