This is indeed a simple, fresh, delicious salsa. I made about half the recipe, but used a whole jalapeno, which was just about right for me - not overly hot, just a nice little kick to it. Thanks for sharing!

Ive never made salsa before so this was a nice chance in pace (no pun intended lol). I mixed everything up around 10 am and served it on the side of some homemade tacos around 6. I split it up into two batches, one with only alittle bit of a jalapeno and the other with the majority of the jalapeno plus half of another. It was perfect and so much fresher then canned or jar salsa, especially with some produce stand fresh jersey tomatos. Made for Aussie Swap 14
