Method

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, except for the tomatoes.
  2. Chill the mixture well; leaving it in the refrigerator overnight yields the best results.
  3. Mix in the chopped tomatoes just before serving.

Notes:

This is a wonderfully fresh "dip" if you want to use it as that - but is also good inside tacos, as a side - whatever you want to use it for.
