1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
juice of 1/2 lime
3 tablespoons olive oil

Step by Step Instructions
  1. 1. Put the red onion into a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for a few minutes, then drain and refresh under cold water. Drain again and pat dry with paper towels. 2. Combine all the ingredients together, mixing lightly. Cover and chill for 30-60 minutes, to let the flavors develop before serving. Variations - Any of the following can be added to the basic tomato salsa: avocado, peeled, diced and tossed in lime juice to prevent discoloration; papaya, peeled, seeded and diced; pineapple, peeled and diced; mango, peeled, stoned and diced; chopped fresh herbs, such as mint, fennel, lovage, oregano, marjoram, dill, tarragon. For a milder salsa, leave out the chile.
