Very good salsa! I used two jalapenos, a little extra lime juice and less cilantro (I just seasoned to taste). This freezes really well-I made it on Tues, stuck it in the freezer & set it out to thaw Fri. Took it to a party on Sat & got lots of compliments! Next time I will drain the tomatoes after chopping-I had to pour out quite a bit of extra juice.

I gave it 5 stars because it is a really simple recipe, pretty hard to mess this one up.

This is exactly like my recipe except I use about 6-8 tomatoes and a whole sweet onion. I put it in my cruiseart blender and it comes out perfect. Great way to use up summer garden tomatoes!!

Good salsa! Made half a batch to go with Mijo's slow cooker shredded beef (by Kyle) that I prepared for dinner tonight. I liked the fresh taste of this even though I didn't really have a chance to get the full benefit of it because it was piled in my taco (my fiance and I made tacos out of the shredded meat)! My fiance and I like HOT foods, so I added the entire half jalapeno called for and did not find this to be too spicy at all (actually, it was lacking spice IMHO). I don't know that I'll make this often (my Better Homes & Gardens salsa recipe uses canned tomatoes/chilies, is WAY easier to prepare and tastes better, IMHO), but when I want to go "all out" or am craving the fresh stuff, I think I'll turn to this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

waaaay too much cilantro. i saw some of the previous comments about cutting back on the cilantro, and thought i'd try it as it's called for in the recipe. as it came out, (other than the massive amount of cilantro) it's pretty bland. yes, easy to make, but i need to add more salt, more lime and lemon juice, and...it was not to my liking.

Worked well for me... I've just used a few drops of Tabasco for the Jalapeno pepper, which I didn't have. Will certainly make it again.

I have made this salsa countless times over the past few years and always get RAVE reviews!! I have become famous among my friends, and this is my specialty when it comes to potlucks :) Many thanks to the chef! Personally I end up adding the entire jalapeno as it takes quite a bit for it to be the right amount of picante. Fabulous!

As written, I would rate this salsa in the two range; it has far too much of a cilantro aura (I reduced the amount to 1/2 cup, will reduce to 1/4 cup next time, but it was still too strong). Without modification, the flavor struck me as bitter. With so much freshness, including the tomatoes, as I taste tested, I became frustrated, thinking it should taste better than it did. Finally, I added a teaspoon of sugar, which seemed to almost eliminate the bitterness. I should note, that my son thought it was great, as is. This is the third salsa recipe I've tried. I will try it again with modifications, but will also keep searching for the definitive salsa recipe.

Oh my, this is a great salsa recipe. I seeded and drianed the tomato. I did use less cilantro than called for. I used juice from one lime and used juice from a one lemon.(Did you know if you nuke a lemon or lime before juicing for 20 seconds you get way more juice!) I almost freaked out when I forgot to save this recipe to "my recipes" and then it was requested that I make it for a birthday party. Luckily for me I found it again and I'll never lose it again! Thank you so much for this recipe!

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.

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.
