You may leave it in the fridge until serving time so that it arrives fresh at the table, although you can also take it at room temperature. The ideal is that you prepare it almost at the moment and that you do not have leftovers since once seasoned it can hold 1 day in the fridge or 2but no more. If your idea is to prepare moreIt is best to chop and store each ingredient separately, and mix them just before serving.

It’s a refreshing accompaniment to drink with nachos, grilled meats quesadillas, tacos and other Mexican appetizers. The crunchy touch of the vegetables together with the spicy touch and the acidity of the lime create a combination authentic… scandal!

Variants of the Mexican sauce:

Use the type of pepper or chili you prefer according to your tolerance and taste with the spicy, and if you do not have one of these spicy ingredients you can use a little chilli or Tabasco. You can also add red pepper if you like.

If coriander is not your thing you can chop up some parsley or even fresh chives, and swap the lime juice for lemon if you prefer, although in that case add less than you would lime since the acidity will be more noticeable.
