I added a small Roma tomato. I thought it tasted better the second day and used it on a hamburger...yummy.

Try putting a bowl of chopped tomato laced with lime and salt alongside.

Mad this for the first time in a while last weekend and was struck by how delicious and easy it is. Great on chips as a dip but also terrific in a salad.

This can be made several hours ahead and refrigerated. The taste and texture are best, however, when freshly made.
