Salsa v

Zingy and refreshing, this perks up so many dishes and can be made several hours in advance. Add the chilli to taste – either cautiously if you’re unsure or generously for hardened chilli lovers.

SERVES 4–8

4 tomatoes, fairly finely chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

4 spring onions, chopped

2 tbsp chopped red onion

1 green chilli, deseeded and chopped

2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander

1 tbsp lime juice

? tsp salt

Just mix everything together and set aside until you are ready to serve. If you have time, leave to stand for a while to bring out all the flavours.
