Pesah Salsa Cruda with Horseradish

I was desperate for something spicy and crunchy yesterday afternoon, on the second day of Pesah. So I improvised the following, and was pleasantly surprised with the results:

• One tomato
• Half of an onion (more or less, depending on the size and pungency of the onion; red onion would probably be best)
• Half of a bell pepper
• Several leaves of cilantro
• 1/2 tablespoon of prepared horseradish (the kind that most of us use for maror on the Passover Seder plate)
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• Pinch of salt
• Pepper to taste

Finely chop tomato, onion, pepper, and cilantro. Combine in a bowl; add horseradish, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix well. Serve with pieces of whole wheat matzah. Recall the bitterness of slavery while savoring the taste of New World freedom.
