This salsa thrives on lots of fresh coriander. It’s a great way to make use of the stalks and roots, which are full of flavour and sometimes overlooked. I called it ‘everything goes’ because you can mix and match ingredients, throwing in whatever you have in the fridge. I really like the intense zing of lime zest so I just use a whole lime, and a golden kiwifruit for extra sweetness. This makes quite a bit, but you can happily keep leftovers in the fridge for a few days.
