Steps:

- If you want to minimize the "bite" of the raw onion -sprinkle the finely diced with salt and let them sit for a few minutes. Then press them gently in a sieve and rinse them well in running water.
- Will keep refrigerated for three or four days.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe ingredients for the best flavor.
- Toast the coriander seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, until fragrant. This will enhance their flavor.
- If you don't have a blender, you can chop the ingredients by hand. However, a blender will give you a smoother sauce.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
- Serve the sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
