Introduction

This recipe is adapted from one found on www.smittenkitchen.com. Makes 8 servings of 1 cup each. The ingredients are approximate, there is no need to be precise with this. Pretty much just add everything to taste! (This is also great as a salsa like dip for light tostito chips!) For more visual effect, use 1 green pepper and 1 each of red, orange, and yellow.

    Very Good
    Good with Enchiladas or burritos as a side dish. Sometimes I add celery for crunch. - 2/17/19

    Very Good
    Didn't have the other color peppers on hand, so I added some grape tomatoes instead. I also added some ginger pear wasabi balsamic in place of some of the lime. It was delicious! I used fresh corn, cut off the cob and pan roasted it with a little jalepeno olive oil. Gave it a little extra heat! - 7/13/18

    Incredible!
    I make this without the lime juice and olive oil, and add 5 or 6 Roma tomatos chopped (or one can of petite diced tomatos, drained). I don't cook the corn, either. Use a can drained or thaw a package of frozen and add it in. - 1/28/11
