Tasty, fresh, and easy recipe. I had never tried jicama before, but had heard about it and was ready to give it a try. I think the crunch and slight sweetness of the jicama went very well with the salsa. I left out the cilantro because I'm really not a fan of the stuff, and the salsa still had plenty of flavor and went great with the tacos I was having. I will definitely make this again, maybe not so much of it the next time though unless I'm having company.

Very simple and delicious fresh salsa recipe. I love canned cheats, and Ro-tel is one of my favorites. I added a little balsamic vinegar to the tomatoes (less than a teaspoon). This is my husband's new favorite!

I just made this and it is VERY yummy. Although I did only use one jalapeno and doubled the garlic, it is still plenty spicy!!

This is the best salsa recipe I've made. I didn't have the cumin so I'm sure that will make it even better.

Good salsa. I give it 4 stars because I consider my husbands input, & I couldn't give it 4 & 1/2. I used everything from our garden, so i left out cilantro (my husband doesn't like) & jicama (we didn't grow that). I decreased the amount of cumin to 1/2 tsp. We both thought that the cumin was a little over powering. I also decreased the amount of lemon juice to less than 1 tbsp. Without all the cumin, it seemed to make the salsa more tangy than preferred. Since I omitted the can of green chile & tomato, I used more tomato and a fresh pepper from the garden as well. After these changes, my husband really liked it. Thanks for the recipe!

I thought it turned out well. Took quite some time to do the chopping but it was worth the effort. I seeded all the tomatoes so it wouldn't turn out watery and used an extra 2. All in all it was good. The jicama was the perfect touch

I absolutely love this recipe and reach for it often, especially when vegetables in our garden are ready! Made it just as stated and love the incredible fresh taste it has. The jicama really makes the difference. If there is any leftover, it is great in an omlette the next morning! Thank you for sharing!

I loved this recipe! I didn't change anything about it and it was so yummy! I shared with my in-laws and they loved it too!! It was a little hot so If you dont like that I would do less peppers.

This is without a doubt the best salsa I've ever had. I've made it a half a dozen times just since Super Bowl 2 months ago - it just disappears! Easy to make & the jicama really adds a great flavor. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us.

I was looking for a recipe for fresh salsa and this one was as close to fresh as I could get. however, I didnt add the canned tomato so as to keep it fresher, just added more fresh tomatoes. I also didn't have the jimaca but this recipe was delicious without it. can't wait to try it next time with the jimaca! thanks for sharing!
