I served this as a salad tonight with the chicken and salsa over a bed of leaf lettuce. Healthful and light- just right for a summer night!

This is one of the tastiest salsas I have ever tried! DELICIOUS! Everyone loved it (even my pickiest eater) and raved about it the whole week. You gotta try it.

Great marinade and salsa. The salsa was good by itself. I used whole chicken breasts, and smoked them slowly with mesquite--the result was out of this world. Thanks for posting.

Yum! I made the salsa only and served it with Seared Sesame Crusted Tuna Steaks #89826, and red beans & rice. The chipotle pepper was perfect in this, and I can't imagine substituting it. Since there was just the two of us, there was salsa left over, so I had some for lunch today over romaine lettuce and sprinkled with sunflower seeds. I think it tasted even better after sitting one day. I can't imagine any grilled meat this wouldn't be good with. Thank you!
