"My husband and I love fresh salsa, so we decided to try making our own. We just started by adding ingredients, till it tasted the way we wanted. Since then, we have been growing a SALSA GARDEN in the backyard, so we can enjoy our homemade salsa all summer long!!"

Sep 25, 2008 Very good! I was worried about the whole lemon but you did not taste any of the white bitter part of it. Our tomatoes were on the sweet side so our salsa had a sweet/warm taste to it. We'll be making this one again. Made for *Zaar Cookbooks Tag 2008* game. *Update* I made this again today. This time I did not cut the ends of the lemon off up to the inside of the fruit, and I did not chop the lemon up as fine as the first time, both a mistake. So cut the pith off both ends and then grind/chop the rest of the lemon up fine. -
We love homemade salsa, especially when we can get homegrown tomatoes from the garden! I used green onions instead of the white and red onions. We loved all the seasonings in it... makes it different than other recipes. -
Yum. This was simple to make and very spicy, tasted like it was from one of those Fresh/Mex resturants!!! I added much more jalapeno peppers to suite our personal taste. I will most certainly make it again....THANKS -
I really enjoyed this salsa! It has just the right amount of spices for me, not too hot, and not too mild. Thanks for the recipe!
