Delicious. I used this as the major ingredient in Crockpot Thai Chicken Thighs #106499 and it worked just perfectly. I used canned tomatoes and sweet green peppers with a tsp of chipotle sauce as that's what I had on hand. This is a great keeper. It's sure to have many uses.

Way too much raw garlic and chopped onion. It gave a lot of heat but totally overpowered the cilantro.

I'm confused about the ingredients... If I chop 4 green peppers, it's a HECKUVA lot more mass than if using 4 jalapenos. I can't understand how the recipe can exchange 4 jal for 4 gp and expect it to produce a similar mixture. It won't even produce the same quantity!

Loved this salsa! I'm a big garlic and cilantro lover and this salsa has the perfect combination of garlic and cilantro. I let the salsa chill for a couple hours and served with tortilla chips - I couldn't stop munching so it turned into more of a meal than an appitizer. I will make this again and try it as a sauce for chicken. Thanks for posting!!
