FANTASTIC! I had run out of salsa, and I had extra grape tomatoes around that I wasnt using. So I searched recipezaar and found this, because most don't call for grape tomatoes. I followed it exactly (except no cilantro) and its awesome! I'm making more today!

I added a diced up chipotle chile and this was a good salsa.

This recipe definitely has potential but for us it needed more flavor. I think if the grape tomatoes were actually roasted instead of sauteed it would taste completely different so I will try that next time. This time I followed the recipe, tasted and decided to add 2 jalapenos, the juice of a lime, chili powder, more cumin, and another onion.
