Salsa Recipe
This dish can be tweaked to be as hot as you like by adjusting the amount of chili that you add. It is side dish that features on our table often in Summer when the key ingredients are in season and at their best. Vibrant to look at and to taste. It is fresh, full of zing. Use it to accompany simple grilled fish or chicken, or tacos or nachos.
