I didn't have cilantro and this was still very good.

This was a good basic salsa recipe. It really helps to read the tips from other reviewers, that is why I love allrecipes so much! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!

I thought this recipe was perfect. Couldn't think of a better way to use up the tomatoes from my garden!

Very good taste! I accidently used lemon juice instead of lime but the taste was still good. Otherwise followed directions exactly.

This is the exact recipe I always use (except I never measure and just eyeball it). Best salsa ever, hands down. Sometimes I add a splash of red wine vinegar...sometimes not. Every time I bring this to a party it gets gobbled up right away. People request that I bring it. Also, mix a few spoonfuls in with mashed avocado and you have the most amazing guacamole on the planet.

Mmmm, this recipe reminds me of the salsa of certain taquerias that were renowned for their salsa. As a true Californian, I frown on the other reviewers that suggest adding corn and black beans or avocado to this salsa (are you even from California?!). This salsa is certainly Californian cuisine. I'd recommend blending half of the ingredients in a food processor and mixing it with the rest of the chopped ingredients to obtain the consistently that you come to expect from most taquerias. I noticed that using half of a normal/small-sized jalepeño yields mild heat.

Loved it!

excellent recipe!! I have made it over and over. Now that fresh tomatoes are out of season I use half fresh and half canned to give it the rich red color, and it still comes out very good.

I'd never made salsa before trying this recipe, but my husband misses "real" california/mexican food and I thought it would be a nice treat for him. He said it was the best salsa he'd ever had. I thought he was kidding me considering he's likely had many different salsas being from california and salsa being served with nearly everything. Have made it twice now over a couple of weeks and it will be a staple in our home! Yummy!

After going to Puerto Vallarta Mexico, I came back looking for a simalar recipe for fresh salsa, after going to the farmer's market and using fresh ingredients, I think this is better than the stuff in Mexico. Great Hit, went over well with everyone. I also added some seeded purple pequin peppers, I cut back on the cilantro. Even better the 2nd day when flavors were allowed to blend over night. EXCELLENT!

best with fresh garden tomatoes! it's more of a pico de gallo which is my favorite kind of fresh salsa if you want jar salsa buy it if you want fresh from the garden healthy and great taste this is for you.

Very tasty! I did not use the full amount of cilantro called for. It was eaten over a period of 3 days and was as good the last day as it was the first.

Sorry, this wasn't my favourite:( I had high expectations and thought it would get better after sitting in the refrigerator but it just wasn't the case. I guess you either love cilantro or hate it. Having never used fresh I know I'm in the latter. Besides which, the salsa just seemed to fall all over the place, needed something to bind it all together. Yes, it was like a brushetta (which i love) but i didn't want brushetta, i wanted salsa to dip my chips in!! If you're looking for something similar to that in a jar this is not for you (or me)!

This was OK but somehow the flavor wasn't quite what I was looking for. I LOVE cilantro, but this actually had too much for me. I would reduce it to 1/4 c next time. I tried adding cumin and a little vinegar to try and help the flavor, but it still didn't do it for me. Sorry, I'll keep looking!

This was really good. I enjoyed it with blue corn chips.

My first attempt at this wasn't the best. As others have said, the cilantro was too over-powering. Also the tomatoes in the stores this time of year are seriously lacking in flavor. The second time I made it I added about 1 1/2 cups of canned crushed tomatoes, 2 TBSP. of white vinegar, cut the cilantro to 1/4 cup and used 1/2 of a green pepper. I also added about 2-3 tsp. of sugar (or to taste). My husband and I loved it!!

This would be a 5 star recipe had I used lemon instead of lime. Being from California I had never heard of anyone using lime in thier salsa but found two recipes that used it and tried it. It was okay the first day but the next day the lime was terrible in the salsa. I really reccomend using lemon and this would be a perfect fresh salsa. I used canned tomatoes, will use lemon next time and threw it in the blender with some extra chopped garlic cloves.
