Salsa is a wonderfully versatile dish that can be served any number of ways. It works well as a perfect starter before a main course and can even be served as an accompaniment with the main meal. It can be used as a garnish on top of meats and fish and it also works well in a salad. Traditionally people like to eat salsa as a snack with tortilla chips or crisped pita chips.
Please note that this recipe calls for a diced habanero chilli pepper and chipotle powder, which will make the salsa spicy, but it can be removed from the recipe if you do not want spicy salsa.
