This isn’t your average tomato salsa.
Fresh, herby and packed with flavour — this one gets taken up a level with Funky Beast. Think juicy tomatoes, sharp herbs and a rich, spiced chilli oil dressing that ties everything together.
It’s light, punchy and built to sit alongside just about anything.
WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS
Good salsa is all about balance. You’ve got sweetness from the tomatoes, freshness from the herbs and acidity from the lemon — but what takes it further is the Funky Beast Chilli Oil.
Using just the oil gives you depth, warmth and spice without overpowering the dish.
👉 Fresh + citrus + spiced oil = serious flavour.
