Tomato Salsa With Tamarind Dressing

As the weather turns warmer and finally cooking on the bbq is possible again, I'll be posting salsa recipes on a very regular basis. I came up with this salsa for my salmon fish cakes instead of serving them with any kind of sauce. It's refreshing and extremely easy to make. Please be creative and add in herbs and spices you think that might work with the salsa.

Serves 4 as a side dish

you'll need;

5 large ripe tomatoes, chopped

1 small onion, finely chopped

small bunch of chives, chopped

small bunch of coriander, chopped

1 chili, chopped

Place all chopped ingredients in a bowl.

for the dressing;

4 tbs of tamarind paste

2 tbs of castor sugar

juice of 1 lime

dash of fish sauce

salt and pepper to taste

Finishing touch for the dressing..

Pour dressing over and mix well. Serve this with your choice of meat or fish.
