Sometimes a meal just needs a little pick-me-up, like when you’ve got leftovers and it just doesn’t cut it the next day (though foods such as curries definitely do). Or you’ve done a big batch of cooking at the weekend that you’ll be eating throughout the week. Either way it can end up being samey and boring.
Well, one option to pimp up your meal could be to use the leftovers to make a completely different one, which would be too much of a faff. The other option is to make this quick and simple Mexican inspired salsa. It doesn’t have to be eaten with Mexican style food. Oh no siree! It goes fantastically well with plainly cooked meats and fish. Just dollop a bit on top and POW! You’ve pimped your meal.

Delicious – one of my favourite pick me ups is a tuna burger topped with tomato salsa. Easy to make, exquisite to eat. I will definitely be trying out your salsa recipe out at home 🙂
