Seasonal Summer Salsa Ideas

Hopefully, you’ve had a fruitful harvest from your tomato plants this year? We love deep red, juicy, intense and flavourful August tomatoes; if you’ve had a glut then try our easy summery tomato salsa recipe below.

A simple tomato salsa can transform a portion of Oak Roasted Salmon or some sliced Smoked Chicken, particularly good on a picnic or as an accompaniment for a relaxing summer lunch.

Seasonal Summer Salsa

4 large ripe tomatoes

1 avocado

1/2 cucumber

1/2 lime

1 small red salad onion

1 mild green/red chilli

Handful of fresh coriander – chopped

2 tbsp of Very Chilli Jam

• Peel and dice the tomatoes and cucumber.
• Cube the avocado.
• Finely dice the red onion and squeeze over the lime juice to take the sting out of the onion.
• Deseed and finely slice the chilli and roughly chop the coriander.
• Combine all the ingredients with the Chilli Jam and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Our garden was devoted to wedding flowers this year but we’ve had lots of vegetable donations from kind neighbours and we’re looking forward to growing our own again next year.

This August we’re giving away a jar of Very Chilli Jam (100ml) with every order over £55 – sign up to our newsletter here for the code.
