Ingredients

  • 4 ripe tomatoes deseeded & flesh finely diced
  • 1 small red onion or ½ large one finely chopped
  • 1-2 green chilli pepper (jalapeno) deseeded & finely chopped
  • 1 bunch of fresh coriander (cilantro) - approx. 25g/ ½cup leaves finely chopped
  • 1 lime (juice of)
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Start with deseeding your tomatoes by cutting them in half and discarding watery pulp. Roughly chop the remaining flesh.
  • Deseed and finely chop your green chilli, onion and coriander.
  • Put all the chopped ingredients in a large bowl, pour over juice of one lime and mix everything gently. Taste and season to taste.
  • Serve as a condiment, topping, dip or side salad.

Notes

  • Nutritional information is approximate, per serving and should be treated as a guideline only.
  • Use 1 or 2 chillies depending on how hot you'd like your salsa. 
  • Feel free to use white onion instead of red one as in traditional Pico De Gallo recipe. 
  • I like using ripe vine tomatoes in my salsa but you could use any ripe and firm tomatoes you like, even little plum or cherry tomatoes. 
  • Chop your salsa ingredients as chunky or as finely as you like. I like mine to be roughly similar size (small dice). 
  • Store in the fridge in airtight container for up to a week. Take it out of the fridge 20 minutes before serving.
