I needed picante salsa for use in another recipe and it came out top notch. Thank you! -
WOW! This is an excellent salsa recipe. I had so many tomatoes from my garden to use up, so I made a big batch of this. So glad I did. The only suggestion I'd make is to refrigerate a couple of hours or so to let all the delicious flavors meld. Thank you Chef AnitaM for a wonderful recipe I'm sure to make over and over again. -
An easy recipe to make. I made a few changes - left out the jalapeno - it has plenty of heat with the rest of the items (used a datil pepper based hot sauce), used bermuda onion and used 5 small tomatillo's I grew and had cooked for salsa verde - so it has a little more saucey consistency. Very fresh and well balanced flavors.
