I'm a huge fan of all the ingredients in this salsa, so it should have been great. Right? It's good, but it's not likely I'll make it again.

This is a great, great recipe. Always a big hit! I think the recipe is fine just how it is, but I may play with it a bit more in the future. Canned tomatoes, drained and rinsed like the black beans, look and taste just fine but fresh would probably be better. Thanks for the recipe!

It does make a lot. I made 2 batches and took them to a potluck, and I would have been better off splitting 1 batch. Everyone asked for recipe because everyone liked how refreshing it was and it was actually healthy.

Wonderful!! I followed this recipe as is and ate it with some hint of lime tortilla chips. Looks great in a clear bowl...big hit at the barbeque!

Heather: this recipe ROCKS! It is very easy to "customize" it to whatever you have on hand. I used fresh tomatoes, fresh jalapenos and a seasoning spice available here in Texas called Pico de Gallo (Fiesta Brand). Otherwise I changed nothing. Gotta' love it!

Excellent Salsa!!! My friends request this everytime we have a BBQ. I use the Rotel diced tomatoes that includes lime juice and cilantro for even extra kick. Love it :)

Great salsa! I have made it several times now. I have made some changes, tailored to my family's tastes. I don't mix the avocado in it and it keeps longer, just have sliced avocado on the side. I use Rotel original (instead of Italian tomatoes), double the lime juice OR add 1/4 cup vinegar, and add hot sauce. I dump everything in a 1 gallon jar, shake it well, and let it sit in the fridge until the next day. I then shake it and dip out what we will use with a slotted spoon--that helps with the additional liquid without compromising the taste. This makes it almost as easy to keep on hand as the store-bought.

I think this is a great alternative to traditional salsa. I can serve it at a party with chips or use it as a salad topping. Very cool and refreshing.

I could eat this with a spoon, as a matter of fact I did with crushed chips on top! I have to add the heat though, 2 diced jalapenos, 1/2 tablespoon cumin, a sprinkle of Cayenne, and an extra 1/2 of a lime.I also omitted the avocado and olive oil. DELISH!

Soooo light & refreshing! I used fresh corn cut off the cob (which was AMAZING) didn't add the avocado, didn't have one and don't really care for it that much. Forgot to add the olive oil, and it was so great without it, that I may skip it in the future! had some vegans over so this was a perfect treat for them. LOVED this recipe!!!

This is really a very good salsa. I added a little salt and more jalapenos (including the juice) to kick it up a notch. We have eaten it with chips or just as a side dish. I used fresh cherry tomatoes and fresh cracked pepper for a very fresh, authentic taste. Will definitely make again...perhaps this weekend!

I just made this tonight and my husband who was "full" just had to have a bowl full of chips and salsa. I did not use avocado because I wanted it to last longer. I also added a jalapeno and used extra lime. Great recipes to start with and adjust to your taste preferences. I would half the recipes...this made quite a bit!

I made this yesterday at work and everyone loved it! Well, at least the ones that I was willing to share it with! It was so great that we ended up being kind of selfish. Great flavor, would like to add some jalapenos next time for some heat.

Everyone loves this salsa! Here are my modifications: I use no salt added canned corn, beans, and tomatoes, so I really do control the sodium content. I also used low-fat mayonnaise to lower the fat.

How do you figure this makes 72 servings??? As a result, the nutritional information is very inaccurate for those of us who must watch our sodium, fat and/or caloric intake.
