I realize that I might have changed the whole tenor of this salsa with the changes I made, but just chouldn't help myself ~ Instead of the jalapeno I used a poblano & also cut the cumin back to 1/2 teaspoon! Still, I had a very nice salsa & one that was devoured by guests, so that says something! Will definitely make this one again, probably just as I made it this first time! Thanks for sharing your recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]

I'm a RETIRED high school administrator. I love to cook and my husband is a patient taste tester for me (poor baby)! Very lucky he is not a picky eater! We have an awesome son and daughter-in-law but unfortunately they live in Los Angeles so not much physical visiting. Lots of phone calls though! ? I love collecting cookbooks (drives my husband crazy), logo golf balls, and salt & pepper shakers (thanks to getting started with the old recipezaar swaps!). Recipezaar/Food.com has been a fantastic site for me. I have learned a ton at this site and really enjoy all of the forums (I think I'm getting addicted to the Swaps!!) My next big challenge is to learn how to put photographs on of the dishes I am making. Suggestions are definitely invited!!
