- 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.
- With 3 perfectly ripe avocados mixed in with the rest of the ingredients, this dish turned out to be a great starter for a party I had last weekend. Everyone loved it. Next time I would double the recipe! Thanks ever so much for a great idea. CLS
