Delicious! I have never had warm salsa before and I was very pleasantly surprised. I loved this salsa!! The jalapeno provided just the right amount of zing, and the cilantro put the needed finishing touch to it. I haven't tried it cold yet, but warm...it was yummy! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.<br/>**Made for ZWT 8 Spain/ Portugal Pick-A-Pepper Challenge**

This salsa is a nice change from tomato based salsa and those with lots of cheese.

This was so good! I waited a few hours after I made it to enjoy it, so that the flavours can blend well with each other. The lime juice went well with this salsa, and the jalepeno was not overpowering.

I enjoyed this with some rice. I preferred it room temperature. Love the lim and cilantro in it! Thanks! Made for 123 Hit Wonders game.

I made this just as written and it was really good, but I think I might have enjoyed it warm more in December than in August. (northern hemisphere) But cold-out-of-the-fridge, it is fantastic!!! Yummy! Thanks! Reviewed for the July Veg*n Recipe Swap.
