So, you picked up the nachos, got the chili cooking and even boiled up some rice… but oh no! You forgot to pick up a jar of salsa! What to do! Well, I’m sure you have these simple store cupboard and weekly shop items to make a tasty 5 minute salsa fresca!
What you’ll need (to serve 3 people):
2 Ripe medium sized tomatoes
3 Spring onions (or more/less to taste)
A tablespoon of chopped jalapeno peppers (the pickled kind)
A handful of coriander
A splash of lime juice (fresh is best)
Chopped/minced garlic (to taste)
Your favourite tomato based hot sauce
Salt & Pepper
It’s super easy to make, too. Chop up the tomatoes, spring onions and coriander, combine them in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients and voila! a tasty salsa fresca for all!
Alongside this you might want to serve a deliciously easy guacamole. Here’s what you’ll need:
1/2 ripe Avocados (like, squidgy!)
3 spring onions
Chopped jalepenos (it’s always best to use regular unpickled chillis, but they’re not always to hand so these will do!)
Chopped/minced garlic (to taste)
handful of corriander
splash of lime juice
and if you want, although not entirely neccessary, you can throw in 1 chopped up fresh tomato. Also for a smoother texture you can add a couple of spoon fulls of sour cream.
Salt & pepper to taste
Mash up the avocado coarsley, add the chopped up spring onions. Combine with all the other ingredients, and that’s it. Enjoy!
