I made the base salsa, using jalapeno pepper. Enjoyed with Mexican rice and pinto beans for a great supper. Thanks Rita. Made for Vegetarian Swap May 2013.

Muy rico! This salsa is yummo!! Muchas gracias for a very versatile salsa. I made the main salsa this morning and enjoyed it this afternoon by itself and also mixed with the avocado to create a very delightful guacamole! Ole'!!! Will be trying this with the other 2 salsas soon. Made during ZWT 5 as a thanks to the Whine & Cheese Gang! (for the Genies of Gourmet)

I made the main salsa and the guacamole, both were quite good, but we really liked the guacamole one the best. Made for ZWT5

Muy exelente! I made all 4 salsas and we had a little salsa tasting party! I don't normally like guacamole, but I followed the directions for dividing this to make all 4 salsas and used 1 avocado. I actually liked this guacamole because the base salsa helped balance the flavor of the avocados. The mango flavor wasn't very prominent, I could taste more of the cucumber for the fruity salsa, which was very crisp and cooling. I need to measure the adobo sauce better next time. I think I added a little too much and it overwhelmed the rest of the salsa, but that was my fault. We both loved the main salsa. I blended this in my food processor and it was the texture of the salsa I had in Mexico! Thanks for a great salsa x4! Made for the salsa challenge Epicurean Queens ZWT5: Mexico/Tex-Mex/Southwest.

I choose to make the Guacamole. I made the main salsa and used it all with 4 avocados. It was GREAT! Thank You. Made for ZWT 5, Sultans of Spice.
