Unquestionably the best salsa I have ever had! The flavor is best when it is allowed to "marinate" in the refridgerator overnight. Also I like it with a few extra jalapenas for spicyiness. This salsa cannot be beaten.

This is so, so good! I can't pass on any remarks about making it, as I haven't yet — but I was lucky enough to try this salsa, made by Bev herself! Excellent texture and consistency (Bev makes this with everything chopped very fine, which I really like) — it was definitely not too thin or too runny — and a flavour that rivals any restaurant or bottled salsa I've had. The jalapeno heat unquestionably packs a punch, but it would easily be toned down if the amount of jalapenos listed is too much. For me, the amount of heat was enjoyable and not too overwhelming (although, for my hubby for example, I know I will have to cut way back on the peppers). I would agree that this salsa improves as it "ages", so don't worry about leftovers — they'll be terrific. Thanks Bev!

I give this recipe 4 stars for authenitic flavor. However, when I make it again I will be SURE to reduce the amount of onion and jalapeno peppers...especially the onion. I felt the onion overpowered the rest of the recipe. I prefer my salsa mild and this was anything BUT mild, however if you like things spicy go ahead and follow the recommended amount of peppers. I will make this again with a few minor changes. Thanks for sharing such an authentic tasting salsa recipe!

The salsa I made using this as my basic recipe is great! I reduced the amount of tomato juice because I used canned tomatoes with juice. I added 2 cloves of garlic and used fresh lime juice instead of water. I also decided to make a smoother salsa so I whirred it all in my blender. After a taste test, I decided to add pepper and a few dashes of Tobasco. Delicious!

Very, very good! I don't think this was too hot (in fact, I will add a bit more peppers next time). It is really necessary to let it stand overnight in the fridge; this will lead to the right texture (which is a bit runny at the start).

On the first day I thought this salsa was good ,but not great. On the second day it was the best salsa I had ever had. I highly reccomend leting the salsa sit overnight in the refridgerator. For me, the ingredients were just the right amount.

This is a very easy salsa with a nice flavor I used serrano chiles and used 3 plum tomatoes because it was what I had on hand. This was wonderful with chips! Thanks Bev!

My husband needed to do a demonstrative speech and we picked your recipe for salsa. It takes less than 5 minutes to make and his classmates were asking for the recipe afterwards. He used a food chopper to make it faster. Truth is known, it definately gets hotter the longer you leave it! Absolutely delicious! Thanks Bev!
