Tuesday, October 11th, 2005

Salsa is a great accompaniment with many meals including salads, seafood, chicken or steaks. It can be a side dish or served as a salad and many people enjoy a salsa as a dip with corn chips or bread sticks.

Salsa - great for salads, on top of fish or steak cooks on the BBQ or as a side dish

4 ripe tomatoes, finely diced
40g (1/4 cup) finely chopped red onion
25g (1/2 cup) chopped coriander
(cilantro leaves)
1 tablespoon lime juice

Combine the tomato, onion, coriander and lime juice, season to taste, then cover the salsa with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Remove the salsa from the refrigerator 15 minutes before you are ready to use it so the ingredients have time to return to room temperature and their full flavour.
