I made this the other day for a presentation. It was good. I made it again last night with twice the jalapeno and it was great. Thank you for this.

I didn't really like the green peppers and vinegar in the salsa. I skipped the blender step because I like chunky salsa. I ended up mixing this with some store bought salsa from the local mexican grocery store, and forgot to take a picture before I did that. Thanks!!

Sorry- we really didn't like it. All I could taste at first was cilantro, so I doubled the onion and peppers and added cumin and garlic, then let it set overnight. It didn't help.

Forget the blender and keep it chunky because it's a lot fresher tasting and has a cleaner look. I tripled the recipe actually and I am very pleased. Though I did have to drain a lot of the tomatoes' goop because it was just way too wet.

I agree with ALL of the reviews that comment that this is a great base recipe! So here are my tweaks: doubled the salt (using sea salt), added 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, used fresh jalapeno instead of pickled, added 1 tsp corn syrup, and added a 6 oz can of tomato paste (to thicken the "soupy" texture)... Next time, I'll also use less onion.

I agree with a previous review - it's a great basic recipe to adjust to your own taste. I found it a bit bland after making it & letting it sit for about 1 1/2 hours, so I added the other half of the lime (along with the zest), doubled the cilantro and added more salt. I used 4 small jalapenos from my garden -could've used more for a hot salsa. I also added some zucchini because I had it, and 3 garlic cloves. The additional lime really made a difference!

Good basic recipe. I added some canned green chiles, sliced black olives, and fresh corn. Tasty!

EXCELLENT! The only changes I made were to use mild peppers in place of jalapeno and skip the lime as I didn't have any. I will be sure to have it on hand the next time as I feel it will enhance the flavor. Thank you Valerie's Kitchen for sharing!

Great way to use up fresh garden tomatoes! I added a clove of garlic to give it even more flavor. I also followed another reviewer's suggestion to seed the tomatoes first, and I'm very glad I did. It would have been too watery and seedy otherwise! I only made half a recipe and still ended up with about 3 cups (1 cup per tomato, I guess). Unless you have a big food processor, you'll need to process the onion, peppers, garlic and cilantro first, remove them from the processor, then process the tomatoes. Mine was too full to process correctly, and I only made half a recipe! We didn't find that the olive oil or the vinegar gave the salsa an "odd flavor" as the previous reviewer indicated, although I did use just regular olive oil, which has a lighter flavor, and not extra virgin.

My DH and I thought this was ok. We just couldnt get over the odd flavor of the olive oil and vinegar in salsa. Dont think we'll be making this one again.

After adding a few ingredients,and dicing instead of processing, this was exactly what I had hoped. Better than some restaurants, I've been to. Great recipe!

This was great after I made a few changes. I used 4 stalks of celery and 4 carrots. I only put in three jalepenos. I also added an entire bunch of cilantro because I love this herb. I will make this again next year!

Did not like this at all. Considering all the other reviews, I thought this out be great but unfortunately I hated it. The oil seemed strange and we just did not like the consistency. Won't be making this again.

This was a very good and fresh tasting salsa! I used a red pepper because that is what I had on hand, but I think a green pepper would have been better both visually and taste wise. I upped the amounts of both garlic and pickled peppers to account for our taste. I will definitely make this again; it complimented my husband's famous margaritas perfectly!
