"The taste of a broiled tomato is delicious! You're not going to be able to "chop" your tomatoes once their broiled because they basically turn to mush but don't fret, they're still yummy. If you wan..." See moret a chunkier salsa I suggest chopping up a couple fresh tomatoes without broiling them. As for the actual taste of this salsa, it's just "alright" for me. I am not a cilantro fan but my boyfriend & roommate are and they enjoyed it very much. Too much cilantro for me and I didn't even use the entire half cup it calls for. I also roasted up a jalapeno for more heat."
