I am from Mexico and love to cook! I would get rid of the sugar, pepper and garlic in this recipe. We just do not use sugar and pepper in our "salsas", at least not in the part of Mexico where I am from. Maybe garlic but only half or one quarter, as this salsa is not cooked. Try adding even a little bit of chilli, at least to bring the flavours out. Roasting the vegetables before blending would substantially improve the taste. Try not to add water to the blender, just use the natural juices in the tomato. Use fresh coriander, dry is just tasteless.

As with last contributor I had to throw it away but stupidly I made it again and only put half a red onion in. Still awful.

Vile. A waste of ingredients; I had to throw it away because I couldn't bring myself to eat any more.

I don't seem to be having much luck with the latest recipes I've tried on GF - this just had a strange texture and was sort of bland - I didn't eat it in the end

quite nice, but the original recipe is bland Try adding a little extra garlic, extra lime juice (zest can also be used), chilli, powdered coriander (i used 1 tsp) and powdered cumin (half tsp) to flavour it up it also goes well with a sour cream side- i used finely chopped mint in the cream and but a blob on the side of my bowl, but it can also be in a little dish separate
