It is an amazing homemade salsa but I made a lot of changes. Nothing against the original recipe. I made some modifications to fit my taste. I like spicy food but for salsa, I like sweet, tangy and fruity. Here are the changes I made to this recipe and turned out wonderful and hard to resist. :-) 3/4 cup of shopped cilantro 2 teaspoon of sugar 1/2 Cup of shredded pineapple with juice

LOVED IT!!!! I didn't measure everything - only the salt, and I used part of a pablano pepper instead of serrano peppers and used lemon juice instead of lime. A coworker and I just ate the whole batch for lunch - making more for tomorrow.

Very fresh and tasty! We used 3 jalapenos instead of the serranos (because that's what we had on hand) and it was delicious. Still not quite as good as the Garden Fresh salsa that they sell in the Kroger deli, though! Still, this is the best homemade salsa I've had, and I will probably make it again.

I used 2 jalapenos finely chopped instead of the serranos plus 2 cloves of garlic (I love garlic). Wonderful - like pico de gallo! Then I roughly mashed up an avocado and put about 3 tablespoons of this mixture in it and I got the most wonderful quacamole for our mexican meal for two. Great recipe!

Tasty, easy, fresh. It became spicy only when I added couple more of hot peppers to enhance flavor. This is an excellent salsa even for a beginners like me. Serrano chilies is considered as a "hot" pepper.(~15k vs jalapeno ~5k in scoville rating). But by any means, it is not insane... So go ahead, live a little, add more hot pepper.

I had 2 banana peppers from my garden, so I used those (tomatoes from the garden also) and 3 serranos. I also added 2 cloves of garlic and 3T tomato paste. Absolutely perfect! Except I think I should have doubled or even tripled the recipe because this is being gobbled up very quickly at my house! My family thinks it's better than at any Mexican restaurant!

This is really good salsa. I used a couple more tomatoes, reduced the cilantro (to about 1/4 cup), added 1 clove of garlic and added two jalepenos. I also ended up using a food processor for most of the salsa (not as pretty, but still YUMMY!). By adding the jalepenos there is a nice heat- I like spicy food though, so I think next time I could more serrano chilies (I only used 1 this time, since I had never used them before).

Fantastic! However 5 serrano is WAYYY too much for me, and I love spicy stuff.. We used one and it was PLENTY spicy. I would recommend a half for those who like it more mild. I added a in a clove of garlic. Otherwise, yummy! Our two dinner guests ate it all to themselves so I had to make it twice :) Will make it again.

Great salsa!! Lots of " that's excellent " comments. But, first time user of Serrano Peppers. Why in Gods name would you not mention in the recipe.....USE RUBBER GLOVES WHEN HANDLING SERRANO PEPPERS !!!!! My hands were burning for 24 hrs. Thanks for the recipe, the salsa was delicious and the serrano peppers gave it just the right bang !!

Great salsa! A nice way to use up the fresh tomatoes from the garden. I used only one serrano chili and it was HOT to me! I will use a half chili next time. I can't imagine what five must taste like.

I added garlic and used a couple of fresh jalapenos from my garden. I also used fresh tomatoes and onion from the garden. Flavor was good, but it's a little watery for me. I think I will add a little olive oil next time to give it more body.

This salsa was just okay. I couldn't put my finger on it, but something was missing in the taste. I think there was too much cilantro. Next time will decrease that, but overall not bad, not great either.

I also added a little tomato paste to this recipe - and my picky brother was even a big fan! I am alternately thrilled and afeared that I will be spending a LOT more time in the kitchen making this from now on. :)

My husband and I love his salsa! We grow the ingredients ourselves. You can't get fresher than that! We like it hot! The chilis is what attracted me to the recipe. In fact, I added 7 chilis. I toned it down slightly with a quarter of a yellow bell pepper. It was perfect!

The biggest thing I like about this salsa is how fresh and chunky this salsa is. I don't mean chunky as in CHUNKY, but compared to others that I have tried, this was great. Only thing I changed was how many chilies I put in it. Too many and my mouth is screaming for the fire department. I use just two.
