Kachumbari

Ingredients

• 4 pieces tomatoes, firm
• 1 pieces red onion
• 1 pieces green chilli
• 20 g fresh coriander, chopped
• 3 tbsp lime juice
• 0.5 tsp salt

Steps

1. 1
   Slice the onion as thinly as you possibly can.
2. 2
   Soak the sliced onion in cold salted water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry. This single step is what separates a good kachumbari from a harsh one.
3. 3
   Deseed the tomatoes and dice them small so the salad does not turn watery.
4. 4
   Finely chop the chilli, removing the seeds if you want it milder.
5. 5
   Combine everything with the lime juice, coriander and salt.
6. 6
   Let it stand 10 minutes before serving so the flavours settle.
