This was very much complimented at my party tonight. It did take a while to dice everything, but I did everything but the avocados the day before. It was well worth the time. Thanks. I've made this again, using Zesty Italian Dressing instead of lime juice, oil & hot sauce. It was easier & we couldn't tell much difference. I also used 6 tsp. of refrigerated cilantro paste instead of chopping fresh cilantro. It was great!

This was great. I brought it to a pool party and it all went. I used 3 regular tomatoes instead of the romas (none at my grocery store) as well as yellow corn instead of white. I ended up using 3 tablespoons of hot sauce as well, it was still nowhere near spicy.

This makes a ton! Definitely party sized. I would halve the recipe next time when making for just the fam, and would probably still have leftovers. I made it without olives because my son doesn't like them. I forgot to buy tomatoes, so I used a cup of red salsa. I will cut back a little on the onions next time as they were a touch overpowering.

Wow, does this make a lot!! And it's full of many flavors that all compliment each other. Made this for a family picnic and it was enjoyed by all. I will definitely make this again.

This turned out great!!! I did skip the green bell pepper due to personal preference but that was the only change. This does make a ton but the leftovers are just as good. Thanks so much!!!
