Tomato, red onion and coriander salad
6 plum / roma tomatoes; sliced into round slices
1 small or 1/2 medium or 1/3 large red onion, sliced
1/2 cup chopped coriander
1 lime juiced
1 table spoon olive oil
salt to taste.
1. Mix the sliced tomoatoes, onions and coriander
2. add dressing made with lime juice, olive oil and salt (put in a small bottle and shake)
this is a really refreshing salad, I make it all the time, but when I made it in Edmonton, everyone was asking for the recipe - so here it is people!
Sometimes I leave out the dressing and just add a little salt.

I know this tastes fabulous! Sometimes you can just mix with rice and eat it. When it is stored for a while,it gets juicy!:)

I normally slice them smaller and eat, but its such a fabulous treat!
This must be what you meant when you spoke of Swahili influence. We call it kachumbari and it's an East African favourite.
I like eating this!
