Salsa literally means "sauce" in Spanish and is an opportunity to creatively blend the many flavours of seasonal herbs to create a sauce that can be used as a side salad or a topper on tacos, meats, vegetables or pretty much anything!
Ingredients:
About 6 - 8 chopped tomatoes
Can of diced tomatoes (optional)
One bunch of coriander finely chopped (including the stems)
1/2 bunch finely chopped garlic chives
1 small onion finely chopped (red onion is sweeter but use whatever you have)
The juice of 2 limes or other citrus
Chop fresh chili to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Experiment with adding other tastes from the garden such as mint, basil, parsley, lemon balm. nasturtium, mustard leaves, shredded radish or leaves.
Method:
Mix ingredients together and season. For a smoother consistency blend half the mixture and then mix it back through. Store salsa in jars in the fridge for up to a week.
