    Does anyone have a nice mexican salsa recipe - not like you get in a jar, but like you get in a restaurant, that's more of a lightly dressed salad of finely chopped tomatoes, onions etc? Just something simple and fresh.

    I've googled, but a lot of them seem over-complicated for a little side-dish!

    No but I'm bloomin wishing I did now!:rotfl:

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    ok - my salsa

    Fresh tomatoes - chopped - ideally remove the liquidy bit in the middle but not the end of the world if you don't
    1 red onion chopped. can be swapped for spring onions or a normal onion, but that makes it quite strong if you use a normal one.
    1 chilli - chopped
    lime juice to taste
    chopped fresh coriander - big handful - you guessed it - chopped.

    Ideally leave for about 10 minutes before serving.

    Fresh mango is lush in this but not necessary.
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    :rotfl: Sorry! :D

    I like salsa from a jar, but want to make mexican food from scratch, so it's slightly more impressive. ;)
