My family enjoys Mexico, and in particular the Mayan Riviera, so much that we spend a lot of time there and have actually built a vacation villa there (
www.villaarrecife.com)! This is a very common condiment that is always placed on the table as an appetizer with freshly made corn chips, no matter where you go. It's simplicity is what allows the flavours to shine through and I guarantee after making a batch of this, you will no longer want jarred, pulpy 'salsa' again!!!
FRESH TOMATO SALSA
Ingredients:
6 plum tomatoes (or any flavourful, ripe variety), finely diced
1/4 of a white onion, finely diced
1/3 of a bunch of cilantro (coriander), finely diced
2 serrano chilies, finely diced with seeds and ribs
Juice of one lime
1/2 tbsp coarse salt
3 fresh peaches, finely diced
- Once all the ingredients have been chopped, simply combine in a medium-sized bowl and serve with corn chips (our new favourite are the lime flavoured ones from PC!)
- ENJOY!
**The peaches are optional but add a nice seasonal burst of sweetness which plays off the tartness of the lime, heat of the chilies and saltiness of the chips, beautifully! If you don't have peaches, you can add apples, or mangoes, plums or even avocados for a more authentic feel!
