I made this for a Christmas dinner party and no one was impressed. The recipe calls for 9 tomatoes but it doesn't say what kind. They must mean cherry tomatoes b/c I used vine ripened and it was entirely too many. Beyond that the flavors just didn't go together very well. Mushrooms and bacon aren't exactly carribbean. Won't make again.

This recipe was pretty good, followed it to a T. It did remind me of ceviche with all that lime! Ate some with bread, and the next day scooped some up with tortilla chips. I actually think I like this better as a dip than a spread. Still very yummy.

I loved this. It is a perfect summer appetizer. Didn't change a thing.
