"I have tried a lot of different ways to make salsa, but this is by far the best and easiest salsa I've ever made. It is a constant favorite in my household, and every time I bring it somewhere, I end up giving the recipe to a handful of people. Enjoy!"

Since I don't like 'HOT' salsa, I opted to use some green chilies instead of the jalapeno (although I probably could have cut it way back to maybe about 1/4 of a jalapeno!!), & I thought I had a great salsa, as did others! Also, rather than using a food processor, I chopped, diced & minced rather fine & that worked great, since I prefer that my salsa that is scooped up not easily run off the chip!

YUM!!!! I made this as directed except added 2 tomatillo tomatoes for that extra zing that we like and it's great. This is my new go to salsa from now on. Thanks Saffron for an easy, tasty and impressive recipe.
