Fresh Hot Homemade Salsa

Before I say anything, I have to be honest with you. It’s the first time I’ve ever used coriander in a dish, especially a homemade salsa. I know, I know. A bit embarrassing. But my God, it is good! I was eating it like candy. Just imagine a six-foot guy with a bouquet of coriander leaves stuffed in his mouth nom-noming the hell out of it.

But, now that I’ve taken that off my soul, let’s get to this fresh hot homemade salsa that I’ve made for you today. There are just two things you need to know about it. The first thing: it is health in a bowl. The second thing is: if you don’t have the knife skills of, let’s say, Gordon Ramsay, go buy a food processor because there is some serious chopping involved! You don’t want the time spent on making it to be more than the length of the movie you’re watching while eating it. Right?

Right! So, basically there’s nothing more to it. It’s simple, fast and healthy. Use fresh veggies and a food processor and you will love it.
