This salsa recipe is so simple and delicious that I could just eat it on its own, like a salad :D It’s very good with fajitas or eaten as bruschettas. There’s no fancing cooking technique involved, not even cooking itself. All you need is a reliable knife to chop up all the vegetables!
The ingredients:
- 5 medium sized tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 80-100 grams of coriander, roughly chopped
- 2 medium sized red onions, finely chopped
- juice of 1 lemon
- 3/4 tablespoon of coarse salt
# – The fresh ingredients.
# – Throw the roughly chopped coriander into a mixing bowl.
# – Then throw in the tomatoes.
# – Next in, the finely chopped red onions.
# – Sprinkle the coarse salt all over. Don’t be too heavy handed with salt, do taste as you go :)
# – And top it all off with the juice of 1 lemon.
# – Lastly, mix it all up!! Gorgeous, gorgeous colours!
# – Put in on a fajita….
# – Or even eat it as a salad on the side.
Now, this is a truly healthy salad and that’s why, I’m filing it under “Vegetarian” ;) It’s a surprise how something so simple and healthy can taste so gorgeous!
Love the colours! but ahem not a big fan of raw onions >_<" *blek*
hahaha i LOVEEEEEE onions and all those stinky underground food!
Red onion taste is not that sharp like raw white onions, perhaps you can try it :D
I really love this, it tastes so incredibly fresh and natural. It’d go well with a variety of meals but it’s superb with fajitas.
Thanks kim! I love this shit and I’ve always wanted to make my own but lazy to cari recipe lol.
Make it la! Very simple!!
Hi Kim, I’ve been reading your blog for a while. Love it!
Thanks for the recipe..will try it, looks really simple and awesome! =)
May skip the coriander though…not a big fan. I saw in the last 2 pics you have something on your fajita besides the salad.. is it grilled chicken?
Hi Chrystal, thanks for leaving a comment! You’re right it’s grilled chicken! Going to blog about it soon ;)
thanks for sharing kim. i am planning to make a veggie meal tonight and this salsa will go perfect.
Hi suzy thanks for leaving a comment :) hope it goes well with your veggie meal!
I am a sucker for Mexican and this salsa is ideal for me! the colors are so vivid!
Thanks!! I love mexican food too, they’re always so fresh tasting!
Great recipe, I use almost the same ingredients for my salsa except I substitute balsamic vinegar in place of lemon juice to give an underlying sweetness on top of the sourish vinegar. =)

yeah and healthy after all the pork! hehe
Oooohh it’s healthy AND looks yummy! Imma try this! Thanks for sharing Kim!

Nice and simple and delicious! I threw some sliced jalapenos in mine when I made it for an extra kick. I was thinking of maybe adding a dash of cumin too, but I didn’t. What do you think?
thank you! i think you should absolutely go for it, i can imagine the depth of flavours the cumin can give!
