This vibrant Tomato & Coriander Salsa is a perfect accompaniment to any dish needing a fresh, zesty kick. With the sweet juiciness of cherry tomatoes, the sharpness of red onion, and the fragrant herbs of coriander, this salsa brings a burst of flavor that is both refreshing and satisfying.
Instructions:
- Rinse the cherry tomatoes thoroughly under cold water.
- Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes depending on their size. Aim to keep the pieces relatively uniform for consistent texture.
- Peel the red onion and finely dice it. For a milder flavor, rinse the chopped onions in cold water before adding them to the salsa.
- Wash the coriander leaves under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towel.
- Finely chop the coriander leaves, avoiding too much of the stems.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the halved or quartered tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped coriander leaves.
- Drizzle the lime juice over the combined ingredients in the bowl.
6. Mix the Salsa:
- Gently toss the mixture to ensure even distribution of all ingredients and the lime juice.
- Taste the salsa and, if desired, add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Toss again to mix.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips:
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the coriander leaves lightly in a dry skillet before chopping them.
- Feel free to add a finely chopped jalapeño or some chili flakes if you prefer a bit of heat in your salsa.
- Allow the salsa to sit for about 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together well.
- Always use fresh lime juice for the best zesty flavor. If you don’t have lime, lemon juice is a good substitute.
- If you desire a smoother texture, you can roughly blend the salsa in a food processor instead of chopping everything by hand.
