Super Salsa

OK, a quick one for you today. I promise! Don't believe me? Fair enough, I wouldn't either, I'm renowned for being long winded, and this blog is doing nothing to help with that reputation. I'll do my best though...

So, I love Mexican food. Love love love it. I love the fresh, bold, vibrant flavours, and I love how fun it is! Think about it- when was the last time you had Mexican and there wasn't a whole lot of laughter, chatter, and activity? Can't remember? Me neither. I think it's all the sharing, passing of plates and general inability to eat it without making a mess. Just brilliant. I've already posted two Mexican inspired dishes (I'm not really sure you could call my Quesadilla Pie authentic!), but I already have a third on its way. Is that overkill? Sorry if so, I'll try and keep it more varied in future.

Anyway. It's impossible to serve Mexican without salsa. But I hate shop bought salsa. It's always too watery, too raw (I hate big chunks of raw tomato), too spicy, too bland (how this is possible is beyond me!) or too overwhelmingly tomatoey (I know, I know... I sound pretty fussy!). Thing is though, when it's so easy to make a zingy, vibrant, bold, fresh, spicy yet balanced salsa at home... who needs shop bought?! Oh, and did I mention it only takes 5 minutes?! It's super fast, super tasty, super easy and super cheap.... quite frankly, it's a super salsa!
