This is a delicious and aromatic Argentinean marinade or sauce. Use it on barbecued meats - it's especially good with steak. The sauce is best if used immediately but will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of days.

Fresh Salsa

Recipe by: Cecilia D

Reviews(4)

Fresh ripe tomatoes, chillies, onion, garlic and coriander with a splash of lime juice - all you need to make a delightfully refreshing salsa. Adjust the heat level by experimenting with the amount and type of chillies you use. Jalapeños will give the most heat! Use jarred if you can't find them fresh.
