Tomato salsa

Directions

1. Place the sliced tomatoes, onions, chilli and chopped cilantro into a large serving bowl.

2. Add the lime juice and olive oil; toss the mixture.

3. Season the kachumbari with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. It is ready. Serve immediately. Enjoy as a salad or a side to a roasted meat dish from East Africa (Nyama choma).

Tip: To reduce the pungency of raw onions: soak your chopped or sliced onions in a basin or pot of cold water and add a tablespoon of salt. Allow to stand in water for at least 15 minutes before draining with a sieve. After draining, rinse onions in sieve under running water and allow excess water to drain from sieve. Mix onions with remaining ingredients for the relish.
