Entertaining during the great British summer is fraught with uncertainty. Some people go in to meteorological denial, doggedly planning a barbecue; others assume the worst and cook up a hearty hotpot.

Certain dishes however, can make a summer supper feel festive whatever the weather. Top of my list are salsas. Fresh and vibrant, they intrinsically conjure up visions of perfumed haciendas or beachside cafes. You can serve salsas with a basket of warm tortilla chips as a pre-prandial nibble, but alongside grilled   or barbecued chicken or fish, they never fail to add pizzazz to a summer supper party. A pitcher of sangria or some margaritas wouldn’t hurt, either.
