Tangy Texas Salsa image

I'm a "transplant" from Wisconsin currently living in Texas. Even after 20 years, I can't get enough of our wonderful local citrus. This is one way to work it into a main dish. The combination of tangy fruit, spicy jalapeno and distinctive cilantro is perfect over any meat, poultry or fish. We also dip into it with chips. -Lois Kildahl, McAllen, Texas

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from my salsa. It was still very flavorful.
