Tomato and spring onion salsa

I love this tomato and spring onion salsa because it’s super simple and ready in five minutes. Also, it goes really well with many types of dishes -  grilled/barbecued meat and fish, cold meats, cheeses, nibbles etc. It makes an excellent filling, too, in tacos, sandwiches and wraps. If you blend it together coarsely, it becomes a delicious dip or sauce that you can pour over grilled meat. Perfect for picnics, parties or in your lunchbox as well!
