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]
