Way too much onion! I loved the idea of this, but the onion was overpowering in the salsa. I would try it again using maybe half the amount of onion, or maybe try cooking them first to get a more mild flavor.

My husband & I love this! So easy an quick. We have a few of these crackers along side a cup of soup and it's a very hearty meal. Also, used the leftover salsa on a variety of othe things, as dip for corn chips, on quesadillas, etc - delicious.

This is an innovative twist on traditional chips and salsa. So cool for entertaining, no one had ever had anything like it. Warning to those with less than sophisticated grocery stores: Polenta may not be available. If not, look for "corn meal mush" in a tube. Pretty much the same thing. I sprinkled some dried seasoning on the "chips" before grilling. Turned out great.
