Introduction

A zingy, tasty salsa that's perfect for summer. A zingy, tasty salsa that's perfect for summer.
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    4 big fresh tomatoes, diced
    3 cloves of garlic, crushed
    1/2 onion, finely diced
    A bunch (about half a handful) of fresh coriander leaves
    1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

    The ingredients can, of course, be altered to suit different tastes. I personally adore garlic - so it's 3 cloves for me... but others may prefer a mere hint of the stuff. Likewise, fresh coriander is pungent and peppery - and can be overwhelming for those unaccustomed to it's flavour. Try adding it last to test the amount that suits best.





Directions

Add the tomatoes, onion and garlic in a bowl.
Strip the coriander leaves from their stems, chop them up and add to bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil on top and stir it through.

Serve slightly chilled, after a little time in fridge to allow flavours to blend.

Makes enough for 4 people.

Plus, this recipe is also great heated and served on crusty bread or pasta.

Please note that after a day in the fridge the juices from the tomatoes make it waterier and less 'chunky', but the flavours are more profound.
