We decided to try this recipe on the spur of the moment and are certainly glad we did. The consistency is just right. I'd read reviews from folks who said to not put onions in the blender as they give way too much onion flavour, so we chose to add the onions, cut finely, afterwards. Our changes were to use lime juice and white onions. We didn't notice it was supposed to be a can and a half of Rotel, so we used only one can, we added more garlice since everyone here likes it more garlicy and I'm a wuss, so there was no hot pepper sauce or jalepenos added in my bowl! If I was to bring this for others I would add them as most folks seem to like it hotter. This salsa is very flavourful and "sweet" for those of us that prefer a sweeter taste. Super!

Dee-licious! What an excellent idea - this is my favorite kind of salsa, why not make it myself? Only problem was my own fault - I thought 2 jalapenos would be better than 1...whoa!

I love this salsa and so did everyone I made it for!! The only thing I did differently was I left out the hot sauce. I like it milder personally but besides that this is now the only salsa recipe I'll ever make!! Yum!

Oh my goodness, this is the best. I made only two changes which was to add the whole bunch of cilantro as I like it. I also omitted the jalapenio as I do not care for them. We ate the whole recipe in one day. Will definintely make again.

Only used 1 can tomatoes. Used 2 fresh Hatch green chiles. Omitted the hot sauce. Used lime juice instead of lemon juice. I thought the salsa was great & put it in the African Yam Soup (that David & I both LOVED), but by itself, David said this salsa didn't have enough "balance" to it.

Everybody loves this. I used 2 whole cans of diced tomatoes with green chiles and omitted the can of green chiles and the 2 cans of plain diced tomatoes. Surprisingly fresh-tasting, probably due to the cilantro, so be sure to include it.

This would be 5 stars with my changes: lime juice instead of lemon, the whole bunch of cilantro( we LOVE it in our house) cumin, salt, pepper, and leave out the hot pepper sauce. Made that way, it tastes just like our authentic mexican restaurant's salsa. YUMMY!
