Really wanted to love it... ended up liking it. I don't know how I feel about it all being cooked. I had nibbled on a little of it (that I had combined) before throwing it in to saute. I think I will definitely make this again, only leave the veggies raw and add a little lime to season. Yummy salsa, here we come!
