This is one salsa recipe I always rely upon and has always been a hit with friends, makes a good dip, dressing for a salad, serves as a sauce for spaghetti or a spread over an omlette. This recipe is neither too spicy nor too thick and works well for me.

Alternately, run in a mixer grinder for a few seconds.
Be careful not to make a smooth paste of it.
It should be chunky and coarse.

you can store salsa in the refrigerater for a few days and in that case don’t add the onions. add onions only at the time of serving.
