This salsa is wonderful! I much prefer raw salsa over cooked salsa any day of the week. Since this salsa calls for a nice bunch of cilantro, I knew I had to give it a try. I am so glad I did. The flavor is so fresh, and no one ingredient over powers the other. I did use fresh chili peppers, and cut back on the olive oil by 1 Tbs. and it came out perfect. We used the salsa with blue corn chips and to top Peter J's Mexican Chicken. I will be using the left over to top some baked potatoes tomorrow...unless I just eat it with a spoon instead. I will definitely keep this recipe on hand. Thanks for sharing **Jubes** Made and reviewed for the AUS/NZ Swap #53
