Pico de Gallo (Fresh Salsa)
If you’ve ever been to a Mexican restaurant in North America, you will normally get at bowl of pico de gallo and corn chips to munch on as you look over the menu. I love the freshness from the coriander and tomatoes – and using the Thermomix to do all of the chopping means that you can make this in no time at all!

1/2 bunch coriander, leaves only
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/4 white onion, peeled

Salt, to season
Instructions
