This recipe for salsa turned out nicely, but I put a handful of the pomegranate seeds into the salsa. Just using the juice from the seeds doesn't add enough flavor. I also added some hot red pepper to give it a little kick. Overall it is very good though, very yummy with crackers, tortilla chips, and shrimp.
