9 June 2009 ~ This was simple and really good. I just realized that I forgot the cilantro! It was a nice blend of everything. Thanks! Reviewed for Healthy Choices ABC tag game. ~~ 22 July 2009 ~ I have to re-rate this. It is wonderfully simple and I have made it several times since the first. I have it memorized (except I still don't use the cilantro) and am making it at least once a week. It is terrific! I don't like my store-bought stuff anymore because of this recipe and feel sad when I've been too lazy to make this delicious salsa. My favorite!!!

I'm a software engineer living in Wilmington, Delaware. I'm originally from the South (north Florida), so I was raised on good old Southern cooking. I started cooking when I was 7 and have always loved to experiment and put my own twist on the dishes I make.
While traveling and living in different places I've discovered a number of wonderful cuisines - Cuban, Thai, Greek, Indonesian, Indian, et al. I have a few dishes from each cuisine that I do really well.
I love to experiment with recipes. One of my favorite things to do is figure out how a dish I like is made. If I have something at a restaurant that I really like I'll experiment at home until I come up with a creditable equivalent.
