This is a decent recipe, but I'm not a fan of how green the cilantro made it taste. I added some pepper sauce, and would add a little more red onion. It's good, but I wouldn't say it's fantastic.

After reading all the reviews, I was expecting to be "wowwed". But, unfortunately, I wasn't. It was good but I must be more of a traditional tomato salsa kind of girl. I'm glad I only made half of a batch. My family wrinkled their noses and wouldn't even try it.
