A traditional favorite from South of the Border, this is good with chips, but just as tasty served as a side dish with a meal of burritos, Spanish rice and refried beans.

• 1 white onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 4 jalapeño or serrano chiles, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
• Juice of 1 fresh lime
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Dash black pepper

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well.

2. Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Serve at room temperature.
