I got this from www.lightliving.com and væganised it.

 

Salsa Con Cilantro

 

A lot of people have been asking me for my salsa recipe. It is heavy on

the cilantro but you can use other fresh herbs like parsley or basil. Salsa

is so versatile it can be used as a dip, a dressing, a marinade, even a

topping for baked potatoes.

 

4 Plumb/Roma Tomatoes or 2-3 medium Tomatoes

1 small Red Onion diced

3

cloves Garlic pressed or mashed with salt

1 lime's juice

1/4 to 1/3 chopped cilantro Leaves

Jalapeno Pepper to taste finely chopped

(optional)

Salt and Pepper to taste (optional)

 

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerator, stirring every so often,

so that the ingredients are well mixed. Serve cold. This salsa will only

last a few days in the fridge but I have not had a problems with leftovers!

 

Serving Suggestions:

I like to make salsa a couple of hours ahead so that it has time for the

ingredients to meld. I also like to serve it very cold with warm, toasted,

tortilla points. The contrast is great!

 

**MY ADDITIONS:

FLAVOURS: The emphasised flavour of this recipe is SPICY. Also, SOUR.

 

PITTA: Tomatoes, sour things (lime juice), garlics and salt irritate pitta.

Reduce these things, make it very mild, and chill it before you eat it.

Chilling things is always beneficial to pitta types.

 

VATA: Spiciness inflames vata but mild salsa tastes ultra yummy. Go stronger

on the salt and lime juice and garlic and decrease the amounts of peppers.

 

KAPHA: Definetly eliminate the salt if your dominant dosha is kapha. This

is fine to eat otherwise, no oil, sweeteners and such.

 

AMA: This recipe is spicy and that destroys ama a little. Yay!!

 

Remember that the six flavours (sweet, sour, salty and spicy, bitter and

astringent) are important to have every day but some are better for you

depending on your dosha. Eat responsibly!!
