Fresh, vibrant, and incredibly simple, this South African- Indian style tomato sambal is one of those side dishes that instantly lifts any meal. 🍅🌿

The tang from vinegar, the heat from fresh chilies, and the crunch of cucumber and onion create the perfect balance of flavour. It pairs beautifully with fish fry, curries, roti, naan, or grilled meats, and the best part is that it tastes even better once it has had time to marinate.

Tomato Sambal Recipe

Ingredients
3 tomatoes, diced
1/3 cucumber, diced
1/2 onion, finely diced
2–4 fresh chilies, sliced or finely chopped
Small handful mint, chopped
Small handful parsley, chopped
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp salt
Black pepper to taste

Method
Add the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, chilies, mint, and parsley to a bowl.
In a separate bowl mix the vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix everything together well.
Let the sambal marinate for a couple of hours before serving so the flavours can develop.
