TOMATO SALAD

I like different kinds of salads with different dishes. This salad is a good with chicken curry and butter chicken. adding a little bit of chopped onions gives it a good crunch.

Ingredients

1. 1/2 of a medium sized onion
2. 3 medium sized tomatoes
3. 1 green chili , seeds removed and chopped
4. 2 Tbsp coriander leaves chopped
5. 1/2 tsp dried mint leaves
6. 2 tsp lemon juice
7. salt to taste

Method

• Chop the tomatoes and onion into small cubes. I use a hand chopper to do this.
  
  
  
  

• Transfer this to  a bowl . Add chopped coriander leaves, lemon juice , dried mint leaves and salt to taste. Mix well and keep aside until ready to serve.
  

NOTES

• Take 1/4 of the onion-tomato salad and pulse in the mixie. Add this to the salad. It gives a Mexican salsa taste.
• It can made 2 days ahead. It tastes better that way.
• Can also add 2 Tbsp chopped capsicum.
• Can add 1/2 of a big cucumber ,chopped.
• Add a handful of chopped green(spinach , chard …). Its a nice way to sneak in some greens without its overpowering taste.
