Salsa

This is hands down one of my most favourite recipes my mom makes. Just like Grandma’s ginger molasses cookies, this is always a hit! Whenever I eat this it automatically transports me to my childhood, that’s how much and how long I have been making this recipe. This recipe is also very reminiscent of a Kenyan dish my partner makes called Kachumbari, maybe that’s why I love kachumbari so much!

Ingredients

4 Roma tomatoes chopped

1/2 Medium red onion finely diced

2 Garlic cloves finely chopped (or even better use a microplane!)

2 Limes squeezed

1 Jalapeño deseeded and finely chopped (or I used pickled jalapeños diced) - this is optional

1tsp Cumin

1tsp Salt

Pepper

Big handful of chopped Cilantro

1Tbsp Neutral oil

Mix everything together, taste and adjust as needed (I love cumin, lime and cilantro so sometimes I will add more), then serve. If you have some avocado’s laying around, I recommend adding a couple Tbs of the salsa to mashed avocado to make guac!
