  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2-3 jalapeno peppers or green chillies
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro or coriander
  • juice of 1 lime
  • salt to taste

Instructions

Make sure the tomatoes, onion and chillies are diced very finely.  Put them in a bowl, add the chopped cilantro and give everything a mix.  Sprinkle the salt and squeeze in the lime juice. Mix again and give it a taste. Adjust if needed.
