A crunchy and revitalizing salsa substitute. This common table condiment tastes well with carne asada or chicken tacos and is made out of tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro that have been marinated. Make my grandmother proud and have fun!

Loved it! I can’t stand garlic….. So I appreciate a recipe without it. I did add jalapeños (very small amount). Thank you
This was right along the lines of what I was looking for. My wife does not like hot salsa. This worked perfect and knowing that the highest rating was 5 stars, she still gave it ten stars. I did use garlic salt. For those that don’t like spicy this is it.
I thought this was great and made it several times just like the recipes states, except that I did add garlic. Thanks for this great recipe!
I don’t know why the description of this recipe says it’s an alternative to Salsa. To me it tastes just like Salsa but without the kick of chili peppers. It’s not bad, but I only gave it 3 stars because it’s really just another Salsa recipe.
I’m only giving this 4 stars because it doesn’t have garlic in it. With garlic, it gets 5 stars. It needs at least 2 cloves just to get it going. I use more beause we’re garlic people. Let it sit for at least an hour to let the flavors marry. I was afraid the sugar might be too much, but it’s just right.
