It's great teamed up with cooked meats, fish and vegetables and works amazingly spooned over griddles steaks.
I'm sure you'll find it delicious, zingy and full of vibrant flavours. It's also a great way to develop your knife skills as there is a bit of chopping involved.
Here's the Handy Printable
You will need:
3-4 Tablespoons Good quality Olive/Vegetable Oil.
1 Fresh Juicy Lime (You can use Lemon if you prefer but I love the citrus hit of lime).
1 Fresh Red/Green Chilli.
1 or 2 Cloves Garlic.
Selection of Fresh Herbs (No more than 2 or 3 as the flavours may get muddled. I use Parsley and Chives mainly with a dash of Coriander for earthy freshness.)
Seasoning.
You can use a Processor but I find it over chops the Herbs.
I use a mix of my frozen Red and Green Chillies - learn how to freeze your own Chillies here.
The red give a great pop of colour to the salsa.
Taste after you've added about half the juice. This allows you to have a mixture you like, either more Oil or more Lime Juice. I like to add the whole Lime Juice as I love the zingy Citrus kick from the Lime.
If it needs more Herbs, Chilli, Oil or Juice add it now.
Stir well and allow to sit for 10-20 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
After this time, taste again and adjust seasonings and flavours to suit.
