    Great Salsa

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    We loved this Salsa, fresh and tasty. No Cilantro, which we don't like. I used lime juice instead of the viniger and added... 1/4 c corn. Used the red onion, and the entire can of Green Chili's, mild. I, also, fried the tortilla's and everybody loved them. I had a bag of store bought tortillas handy, in case anyone wanted them. No one ate them. Will make this again.Read more

    Nice Fresh Salsa

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This was a very good salsa. I don't think I would like it with chips, so we put the salsa on top of grilled pork chops and... was wonderful.Read more

    Mild and delicious

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I really enjoyed this salsa. I'm on chemotherapy, and avoid spicy foods like crazy because it hurts a lot more than it... should. This was very mild, very flavorful, and I just couldn't stop eating it. Thank you, Paula. I really enjoyed it and it was really easy to make. We added an Avocado, and it was just luscious.Read more

    Yum

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I used a little less green chiles and added some of her suggestions like the black beans and the mango and a squeeze of lime.... It was fresh and delicious. Ps. if you want you could always replace one of the tablespoons of red wine vinegar with a table spoon of lime juice and get the best of both flavorsRead more
