2 ripe red tomatos

1/2 red chilli or green chilli (optional)
finely grind of 1/2-1 lemon or lime
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
pepper powder

Method;
1.chop the tomatoes fairly finely and evenly and put into a bowl.They must be firm and a good strong red color for the best result,but if preferred,they may be peeled by placing them in boiling water for 20 second and then plunging into cold water.the skin should then slip off easily when they are nicked with a knife.

2.peel and thinly sliced the red onion and then cut into thin slanting slice.Add to the tomatoes with the garlic and cilantro and mix lightly.

3.remove the seeds from the red or green chilli then chop the flesh very finely.

4.Add in the lemon rind and huice to the salsa and mix well.transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with pepper.
