"A friend of a friend brought this to a party of mine. At the time, I didn't really care for raw onions or tomatoes, and I was shocked that I liked this so much. This is definitely a wonderful summer crowd pleaser."

Very tasty and a healthier recipe to serve with chips. The only change I made was to add some chopped pickled jalapeno peppers for a little "kick". Served alongside some guacamole and served with blue corn tortilla chips.

This was delicious for dipping our chips with this weekend. I didn't have cumin seeds so I just used cumin and used vidalia onions. Yummy! Made for Zaar 1-2-3 Hits Tag Game 2011.

Mmmmm, I do love my cilantro. This was great, even though I made it with store bought tomatoes, which were not on the most flavorful side. Can't wait to make it again when my lovely homegrowns are here.
