I've made this twice and everyone loved it. I don't like olives but everything else was great! Not only is it yummy, it's also good for you!!

Oh my goodness, this was sooo good! Made tonight and took along to a BBQ for family and everyone seemed to love something different about it - I did use a whole avacado and red pepper, but otherised followed everything exactly.... after a second trip to the store after botching the first mango (had to watch a Utube demonstration on how to cut) everything was easy peasy. Personally, I enjoyed the green olives in this! Served with baked tortilla chips. Will be making again! Made for Please Review game.

very good, I omitted the avocado and cilantro and did a few minor amount adjustments, this definately improves with chilling time, thanks for sharing BK!

Excellent and colorful. We used all the ingredients except carrots, and used only half an onion which was plenty. Made for Please Review My Recipe game 2008.

Thanks for a great new salsa recipe! Although I excluded the avocado [just don't like those things!], I did include everything else, dicing & chopping the ingredients fairly small! The salsa was served with several kinds of chips, but I liked the sweet potato chips the best! Such a great keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed for Newest Zaar Tag, 08A]
