It's a cheats recipe because I used a jar of roasted peppers. Be sure to buy the ones in oil and not brine or vinegar. 😉  

Throw the prepared ingredients into a bowl and season with a small pinch of sea salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper and mix.

Cover and leave for at least 20 minutes at room temperature before using, this will allow the flavours to develop.

Just before serving, add a few chopped coriander leaves and add a squeeze of lime juice and have a taste and adjust the seasoning.
