Fresh Mexican salsa can be made with a grater, and it won't take you more than 10 minutes. You'll need a four-sided grater, as some ingredients will need to be grated on the large holes, while others will need to be on the small ones. Place it directly in a deep bowl, and you won't even have to dirty your cutting board. Serve the fresh salsa as an appetizer with tortilla chips for dipping.
