Sudanese Tomato Salad (Salata Tomatim Bel Daqua)

sassafrasnanc's Note:

A simple yet very flavorful salad that has a typical ingredient of peanut butter in South African dishes. An adventurous change from the usual. Add another chili if you want it a bit spicier. Thai chili's work well. Posted for ZWT4

This was an interesting salad, a very different taste, the combination of lime and peanut butter was quite unique. Next time I will use a little less peanut butter. I did use crunchy peanut butter, as that is all I had, but we sort of liked the nuts in the salad.
