You'd be silly not to make a margarita.
Make a sour mix with 25% lemon juice, 25% lime juice and 50% simple syrup.

Tips + Tricks
- For best results, delayer the onion so that the pieces are not clumped together when you blend with the other ingredients. This will help it evenly mix in the salsa.
- If you don't have a blender this can all be done with a knife & cutting board. If you go this route, try to cut the tomato, onion, garlic and coriander as fine as possible (to avoid oversized chunks).
Mama's Wisdom
This healthy and tasty side-dish is high in vitamin C which is good for you for many reasons (too many to list!) and fiber, which is great for digestion. A lot of store bought salsas have added sugar and preservatives, and aren't nearly as fresh as home-made ones so this is an all around tastier and healthier option!
