Shawn's Notes:

THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD!!!!! BEST IF REFRIGERATED FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR SO THE FLAVORS CAN MELD.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

With a medium kick and lots of fresh veggies, this salsa would be great at your next gathering... I can't imagine anyone NOT liking it.

Directions

MIX ALL INGREDIENTS TOGETHER, ADDING 1/2 THE SEASONING AT FIRST AND TASTING SO YOU CAN ADJUST IT ACCORDINGLY. SERVE WITH TORTILLA CHIPS
ENJOY!!!

******WHEN I POSTED THIS RECIPE, I FORGOT TO ADD THAT SOMETIMES I ALSO ADD A CAN OF KIDNEY BEANS DRAINED AND RINSED TO IT. ADDING THE BEANS MAKES THIS A GREAT VEGETARIAN DISH BY INCREASING THE PROTEIN AND FIBER!!!

Shawn, sounds good. I would eliminate the option for pickled jalapenos since the rest of your recipe is so authentically "fresh". For me...the true taste of a serious Salsa is delivered by the fresh cilantro (you can never have too much of chopped cilantro on any food)....the essence of Mexico! Thoughts?
