The best salsa I have EVER tasted....who needs chips!! This came from a restaurant in Key West, but I added garlic which wasn't originally there and it made it irresistable!

This was great! I used a little less jalapeno than called for and I probably won't add the sugar next time (why bother?) The key lime juice added perfect tartness! Thanks!

ummmmazing! My husband and I ate all of this in two sittings! It's addicting, I'm going to be making some more the next time I'm able to get to the store for more tomatoes!

This salsa was very good, though it was a little miled so I added another pepper. Also, it was a tad sweet, I'd reduce the sugar next time.

I've never made fresh salsa before - always prefering cooked ones - but this recipe may have changed my mind. It has a lot of crunch and taste and that was without the sugar and coriander! I also put in some avocado and used it as a topping on my veggie burgers.
