I love to make this recipe. Sometimes I eat it all by itself, but it's excellent with tortilla chips, too! You'll enjoy it either way! —Maria Simmons, Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Seeding TomatoesSummer is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh juicy tomatoes in all types of recipes. It's usually not necessary to remove the seeds from tomatoes before using. But for some recipes, seeding the tomatoes can improve the dish's appearance or eliminate excess moisture. For example, it's not important to seed tomatoes when preparing a tossed salad. But it's nice to remove the seeds when making creamy tomato soup to ensure a smooth texture. And using seeded tomatoes when assembling a casserole can prevent it from becoming watery. To remove the seeds from a tomato, cut it in half horizontally and remove the stem. Holding a tomato half over a bowl or sink, scrape out seeds with a small spoon or squeeze the tomato to force out the seeds. Then slice or dice as directed in the recipe.

Made this for a graduation party- it was the hit of the evening. Everyone asked for the recipe.

I could eat this every day for a month and still want more, it's wonderful. Thank you so much Maria for sharing a recipe that could have been made for me! I love the way the flavours and textures combine, it's all pleasure. There is the mix of textures in your mouth and the explosion of flavour too. I have a lot of things I like to eat but few things give as much all round sensory pleasure. (I would highly recommend you double or even triple the recipe - it won't make leftovers!!)

This salsa is so good it will make you want to slap your grandma. Make sure that if you bring this to a gathering you set some aside for yourself at home.

I make this salsa with the frozen, cooked small shrimp and add them in at the last possible minute. This way when I get to where I'm going, it will still be cold. I also add about a 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder to it and it gives it that authentic salsa flavor.
I've made this salsa twice now for potlucks and it's been gobbled up like nobody's business both times! The ingredients are fresh and the taste is truly addictive.IrisAbilene, TX
