This fresh salsa delivers bold flavor with minimal fuss—a celebration of ripe tomatoes, aromatic coriander, and the zing of lime juice and chilli. The finely chopped red onion brings sharp contrast, while optional vinegar and a dash of sugar help balance acidity for a beautifully rounded taste. Letting it rest gives the ingredients time to marry, intensifying its bright, garden-fresh appeal.

Whether spooned over tacos, grilled meats, or simply scooped with chips, this salsa adds punch, personality, and vibrant color to any spread. It’s the kind of condiment that feels like summer in a bowl.

Method:

1. Combine ingredients:
   • In a mixing bowl, stir together chopped tomatoes, onion, chilli, coriander, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
2. Rest:
   • Let the salsa sit for 10–15 minutes to allow flavours to meld.
   • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
