This salsa is excellent and I am picky when it comes to my salsa. Saying that- I did make a few changes to the recipe. I only used 1tbsp salt and 1.5 tsp pepper (that was more than enough). I also used only 1/8 cup red wine vingar and I added 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. I love this salsa and all of the flavors. I will continue to alter it until it suits my tastes perfectly but I think this is an amazing start. The next time I make it, I think I will cut out the vinegar completely or just add a splash and possibly try fresh jalepeno. I would keep all of the other changes that I made the first time, as well. I have been trying salsa recipes forever and this is my favorite so far. Even though I have many little tweeks, I believe this is a real winner!! Thanks so much for sharing!

This really is an outstanding salsa! Fresh and zesty. Used apple vinegar instead of red wine vinegar and it turned out just awesome.

Oh.... my.. GAWD.... This is SALSA NIRVANA!!! I've never tasted anything like this in my life. I made it for a party, and people were practically tackling each other to get to it! I had to make another batch! Not super hot, but you could "kick it up a notch" with more jalapeno if you wanted, I suppose. VERY tart and citrus-laced. Lots of body, color, and visual appeal. Try it on burgers, chili, almost anything!!! Bonstr, whoever you are, BOTTLE THIS STUFF!!! You'll be rich.
