Tomato Salsa without Onions

By: Susan Baker 
"My mother-in-law loves Tex-Mex but has an onion allergy. After several attempts, I invented an authentic tasting salsa that derives some of it's smokey flavor from the roasted pepper. I've taken to roasting the peppers in bulk so I can always have some on hand."

Fantastic! I did tweak it though by reducing the amount of chili powder, and also adding in...

This is pretty good for those of us who hate onions but I think it just needs some salt.

Didn't really have a bite or exciting flavor, seemed to be missing something.
