Great salsa! I only put 3 serrano peppers without seeds. 5 serrano peppers would be way to hot for the average person. I also added 1/2 t sugar to make it have a sweet taste.

This was easy to make and tasted great other than the 5 Serrano peppers. Way too many peppers-as these peppers are extremely hot!I think just 1 or so would be sufficent. I plan on making this again and making some adjustments by adding less Serrano peppers and adding some garlic.

Love recipe - added 2-3 cloves of garlic, and it is by far the best.

My family loved this recipe, however I added fresh from my garden green bell peppers and purple bell peppers, fresh yellow and red tomatoes and yellow and red cherry tomatoes and used a mild wax pepper...I also added a tablespoon of salas oil, teaspoon of white vinegar,and 1/2 clove of garlic...and I added 2 tablespoons of tomatoe paste and a tablespoon of sugar to thicken up the salsa. If you use the tomatoe paste you do not have to remove any of the extra juice.

As it is, it's a decent pico de gallo, a bit too much cilantro for my taste. The second time around, I cut the amont of cilantro, I added some pressed garlic (3 cloves to a tripled recipe), some oil and vinegar and let me tell you. . .WOW! IT TOTALLY ROCKED!!! It was gone in about 10 minutes and I made a 2qt bowl full! I will be using my modified version from now on! Thanks!

I had never made salsa before, although I love it. This was so easy, and I am now addicted! Use quality tomatoes. I agree with previous reviewers who said one serano chile pepper is enough. I didn't have fresh cilantro, so I used dried. The first time I didn't have fresh lime juice and used the bottled stuff. Doesn't make any difference: it is still delicious! I make this at least once a week. There is a lot of liquid. I tried draining the tomatoes after I chopped them, and that didn't seem to help. Part of my liquid may be due to the sweet Vidalia onion I used, but this is a minor issue. Try this one; you'll be glad you did. Thanks, Bluebayou!!

This is my first salsa to make....it is SO good.....BUT ONLY START WITH ONE SERRANO PEPPER, THEN ADD FOR MORE HEAT. I did what one reviewer said and used 1 1/2 serrano pepper, but it was still too hot for me! Once I tame the heat, it will be a 5 star recipe!

Excellent flavor, again way too spicy. I used 1/2 a Jalapeño pepper and it is still hot.

Very good, only if you do this recipe as is...it comes out spicy. Not over powering but for those who want a mild salsa or no heat, skip the peppers and use regular diced tomatoes with no chile's. Otherwise it was awesome and so easy to do!

I could not for the life of my find seranno chile's at Krogers, so picked up a large jalapeno instead. I used 4 roma tomatoes instead of 3, since they were on the smaller side. Also, I added 2 cloves of garlic as well, just to up the taste a bit. Everyone LOVED this recipe at my Mexican themed dinner party last night; a big success! Thank you so much for sharing...

There was no way I was using 5 serranos, too painful! I subbed one jalapeno instead and it was perfect. I also added a clove of chopped garlic. Will make this again!

Very tasty, although too much salt in the original recipe. I added 1 clove of garlic, which was plenty. And I only used 1 pepper with the seeds, which was not enough. Looking forward to making this salsa again and perfecting it!

MUST HAVE GARLIC, then it's the perfect salsa. Also, I put all in a blender so I don't have to do as much chopping. I only added 2-3 peppers with seeds, but we like it REALLY hot. I think 5 would be almost unedible. If it gets too runny I drain out a little juice with a seive, but only right before I serve so the flavors have time to pick up all that lime juice.
