I think fresh salsa tastes so much nicer than jarred versions and it’s so easy to make too. I often make a huge jar of salsa to keep in the fridge and use over a few days in different meals. And because it’s jam packed with veggies it counts towards your five-a-day!
Just grab yourself a roasting tin, throw in two large green peppers, six big plump juicy vine tomatoes, a couple of chillies and bang it in the oven for around 30 – 45 minutes until the veggies start to char. Then leave them to cool, deseed the peppers and then pulse in the blender with lime juice and fresh coriander, adding salt to taste.
Delicious zingy salsa that perfect for summer.
Ingredients
- 2 large green peppers
- 6 big juicy vine tomatoes
- 2 chillies (whatever heat level you like)
- handful of chopped coriander
- juice of a lime
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 200C and place the peppers, chillies and tomatoes into a roasting tin, whole, don't chop anything.
- Put it in the oven to cook for around 30 - 45 minutes until the veggies start to char, then remove from the oven and leave to cool.

Make it your way…
