Ingredients

  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped - I use white onion because they're sweeter
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 4 ripe tomatoes or a bag of cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves - takes at least one bunch
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 3 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Finely chop onion and garlic then place in bowl with a little salt.

  2. Finely chop tomatoes and add to bowl. Remove seeds if using larger tomatoes. This is not an exact recipe - you can add more tomatoes if you like.

  3. Finely chop cilantro leaves and add to bowl. I use an actual measuring cup here because I always think I've got more than I really do while I'm chopping.

  4. Add lime juice, salt, coriander, and sugar to bowl and mix well.

  5. You *can* let this sit for a bit to let the flavours blend but be warned. If you taste it with a chip, you'll probably just keep right on tasting till it's gone. Or maybe that's just me.
