I’m trying this right now, but I’m trying to make a smaller batch. (About 1/4 of this size). We’ll see how it goes. I’ve been waiting forever to try this recipe and I’m really excited!!

We tried this last night, and were so pleased! My husband said that it was the best salsa he had ever made! I even got a “good job” kiss from the resident cook! I’m the kind who will just take a whole bowl of salsa and eat it by itself, so thanks for the low calorie snack!

I mean bunches like the way it’s bundled in the grocery store. As with anything else, of course adjust to your tastes!

Not dumb! I cut off the bottom few inches of the cilantro and throw the rest in the food processor. Enjoy!

Got a dumb question for you. Do you just use the leaves of the cilantro or throw the whole thing in? I’m going to make this for Superbowl on Sunday, can’t believe it was posted two years ago and I didn’t see it til now. I LOVE salsa. Chips and salsa are a regular meal for me because it’s perfection! Can’t wait to try this recipe!

Hi, I made this the other day and I was wondering what you mean by 1-2 bunches of cilantro. I quartered the recipe and put about 1/4-1/2 bunch of cilantro and it was way too much. We couldn’t even eat it, it was so awful. I think it came out to be about 1 cup of cilantro. Ooooohhhh, wait… I just re-read the ingredients. I didn’t have enougn tomatoes!!! I used 4 roma tomatoes, not 4 big ones. That probably would have helped. I’ll have to re-try this and add in another serrano pepper or two. Thanks! I hope its delicious because, like you, I’m always craving salsa.

Thank you for this recipe. I attempted it but used much more peppermint. Even at that the peppermint flavor was still a bit weak. Do you think it matters which peppermint extract you use?

HOT!! Just the way I like it. My dad has an almost identical recipe (he based his off the ingredients listed in Herdez), but his wasn’t roasted. I like it roasted, it cuts the raw onion flavor. I blended the serrano separately and added it until I liked it. I tossed the rest in my guac, great stuff. Thanks much!

I made these last year and they were well enjoyed amongst friends. The shade of blue was the quintessential cookie monster blue and made it so much fun to put together from start to finish. The cream cheese frosting went really well with the cake and it was an experience to eat them.
