About

A salsa dip is the ultimate party-night snack. While ready-made versions aren’t too expensive, the list of ingredients and additives are staggering. It’s so easy to make your own. I like to go for plain chopped tomatoes or plum tomatoes, so they retain a bit of texture. Tortilla chips and breadsticks advised!

Method

Put the onion, pepper and coriander in a food processor and pulse a few times to finely chop.

Tip in the tinned tomatoes and drizzle in the olive oil, lime juice and red wine vinegar. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and pulse a few more times.

Pour into your serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips or breadsticks, if you like.
