You should try substituting green chili for jalapeños. Can buy in a can, jar, or if you live in a spot that fresh green chili is available, that’s the best. I do not care for the heat of jalapeño but love green chili.

You’re very nasty. That wasn’t constructive criticism. That was blatant disrespect. Not only did you rip into Kate’s personal recipe (which all recipes are subjective to personal tastes), you hijacked her platform to make it YOUR recipe. If you’re such a great cook (not that your version/suggestions were bad), I suggest you start your own cooking platform. Then we’ll see how gracious you are when someone does what you did, on you.

Peter? My dude? You’re trolling us all, right? Like, this seems almost tailor made to annoy people. So this is trolling, right?

You don’t think olives are spicy, right Peter? And you know that picante sauce is a salsa, right? And you don’t really make this, right, because there’s no way it’s a functional dip, Peter.

I think you might be allergic to black olives if you think they add kick. They aren’t supposed to have any kick. Also picante is just spicy salsa.

Picante IS salsa though. So you DO “do salsa”. Salsa is like the word sauce. There are lots of different kinds of salsa. Picante salsa is spicy salsa. Picante just means spicy. I also think it’s rude to post your own recipe as a comment to someone else’s recipe. Particularly since you’re criticising the recipe they spent so much time and money to make and photograph and write up for the internet.
