Chunky Green Salsa

I suppose this recipe is more of a salad than a salsa, but in our family we know it as 'Mum's green salsa'.  It works well served with sweetcorn fritters and is fantastic with grilled seafood or as a side dish with almost anything.


What you will need:

  •  3 - 4 Lebanese cucumbers
  • 2 medium avocados (ripe, but with firm firm flesh)
  • Fresh parsley, small handful
  • Fresh mint, small handful
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Olive oil\
  • Salt and pepper

What you need to do:

1.  Chop the cucumbers into 1cm squares.  Do the same with the avocado.

2.  Rinse and then finely chop the parsley and mint.  Mix together in a bowl.

3.  In a small jar or dish, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice (use equal parts).  Add salt and pepper to taste.

4.  Dress the salsa and leave to sit for about half an hour before eating.  Stir gently several times to mix the salad and herbs through the dressing.
