Ingredients

  • ½ a white onion
  • 3 fresh red tomatoes I used moneymaker
  • 1 red chilli or chilli flakes will work if you don't have fresh chilli
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • Juice of ½ a lime
  • Pinch of sugar
  • Salt and pepper
  • ½ teaspoon of fresh coriander

Instructions

  • The chopping of these ingredients really depends entirely on how you like your salsa.
  • If you're not a fan of chunky salsa then you'll want to dice it finely, if you are a fan of chunky salsa, such as the one pictured above, then follow this method.
  • Dice the tomatoes and white onion.
  • Add to a bowl with a pinch of sugar and stir.
  • Remove the top and the seeds from the red chilli and very finely dice. I like to remove the pith, slice into matchstick sized pieces and then dice from there.
  • Add the olive oil and lime juice.
  • Mix well.
  • Add salt and pepper, sprinkle over diced coriander.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This really helps the flavours marinade and the colder the better for chunky salsa in my opinion!
  • Serve and enjoy!
