This is wonderful salsa & fit the bill for us perfectly. It was spicy enough without being painful, had a nice spike from the lime, contained a tiny note of sweet, and the cilantro added to it. I will definitely be using this all summer as my tomatoes & peppers produce. Thank you for sharing a keeper. Made for Spring '09 Pick A Chef.
