Sweetcorn Salsa

Side Serves 3 25 min

Make this half an hour in advance to let the flavour develop. It's a recipe open to variation: try adding any of a squeeze of lime juice, crumbled feta, avocado, red pepper or minced jalapeno pepper. Serve as a salad, a side to grilled meat or fish, as a dip for tortilla crisps, or a filling for quesadillas.

  • ½ red onion
  • ½ tin cooked kidney beans
  • 2 tomatoes, deseeded and finely diced
  • ½ red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tbsp red wine vinegar
  • salt and pepper
