    This is amazingly good. Really the only difference from the recipe was that I bought the pomegranate seeds already done in the plastic container (so much easier but a little pricey). Other than that everything else was the same. You can use this salsa for so many different things. It's definitely a keeper!

    Guests loved this a nice change from traditional salsa. Very easy to put together and I love the potential versatility of it. Made it as reco'd but will try it with other fruit like Mango vs. Mandarins next time.

    Was a big hit. A nice alternative to the regular tomato-based salsas.

    Really fresh tasting and good. I wasn't sure about the mandarin oranges but they were a good addition.
