Cilantro And Mint Salsa Recipes

CILANTRO LIME SALSA

Steps:

• Roughly chop the tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, and fresh cilantro. Mince the garlic cloves. Make sure to remove the seeds, membranes, and stem from the bell peppers and cut off the tomato stems. Add it all to a large food processor cup.
• Add 2 tbsp of fresh lime juice, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp sea salt to the food processor. Put the lid on and pulse it a few times or until you are happy with the consistency of the salsa.
• Taste the salsa and add more lime juice and salt if it's needed. Put the salsa in an airtight container and store in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill prior to serving.

CILANTRO-AND-MINT SALAD

Steps:

• Wash the herbs and greens. Fill a large bowl or clean sink with cold water, and add the leaves. Swish them around to loosen dirt, then gently lift out and dry in a salad spinner or on clean kitchen towels. (You can do this up to a day ahead, refrigerating the dry leaves in sealed plastic bags or containers with a paper towel to absorb excess water.)
• When ready to serve, whisk together the salt, pepper, red-pepper flakes, lime juice and olive oil in a small bowl, then check the seasonings. Put the leaves in a large bowl, drizzle the dressing over them and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.
