Lima and
Coriander Salsa

This is a very special salsa because it is a citrus salsa, which are not very common. The lima has a formidable flavor since it is sweet but its citrus touch can also be felt. And on the other hand we have the freshness of the coriander that complements very well with the lima.

But this salsa has more charms because it is a bit spicy and more ingredients are used that help to elaborate the flavor of the whole preparation. Although the best part of the salsa is that it is creamy. With a salsa of this characteristics the fishes and the shellfish are the perfect foods in which it can be used.
