I robbed these recipes from Delia online, she has them with crudites, but it would be lovely with bbq potatoes or on chicken, beef, salad, pringles or tortilla chips. she has a few salsa recipes as well check it out www.deliaonline.com

4 oz (110 g) young carrots, peeled and finely grated
1 level teaspoon coriander seeds
7 oz (200 g) virtually fat-free diet fromage frais

1 heaped tablespoon fresh chopped coriander leaves
1 level dessertspoon freshly chopped mint leaves


Avocado, Feta cheese and garlic dip:

Salsa is pretty easy to do.

Tomatoes (preferably plum diced and deseeded - if worst comes to worst well drained, chopped tinned tomatoes would do)
Some coriander freshly chopped
1 red onion finely chopped
1 tablespoon of lime juice
1 green chilli deseeded and finely chopped
1 medium clove of garlic crushed
Salt and Pepper to season

Buffybot's salsa is pretty close to how I'd make mine.

I have, on occasion, chopped a full lime into it, rather than using just juice, but thats when I'm making loads.

I'd stick a little brown sugar in there as well. Takes the sourness of the lime away.

Ah..I knew there was something missing in my recipie. I always put a small pinch of sugar in tomato based sauces/dips anyway.
