    We grilled the bell pepper and onion as well, and it was wonderful. First of your recipes, and happy so far. Thank you!

    I thought this was quite tasty. I didn’t have any cilantro unfortunately, but it was still good.

    Works really well with pork tenderloin as well.

    This was fabulous and a big hit at my dinner party. I made extra salsa because it keeps for several weeks in the refrigerator. This way I only needed to make the meat. It is great with pork, chicken and fish.

    Absolutely to die for! I LOVED it! The pineapple salsa is just awesome. Tasted pretty good on some left over fish too but definently a match for a meatier meat.

    Yum! We used the marinade from this recipe, subbing chipotle for the cayenne: http://www.health-bent.com/proteins/asian-grilled-skirt-steak Super delicious!

    This was very good, even though we forgot to get cilantro at the store… I added some tarragon and extra lime to the salsa. Yum!

    I wanted to use up the rest of the jarred salsa I had left in the fridge. Big mistake. Have to make this one again the right way. :/
