Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 small Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro thoroughly under cold running water.
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds. If the cucumbers have a thick skin, you may peel them partially or completely before slicing.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
Chop the red bell pepper into small bite-sized pieces and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it into very thin rings or half-rings, depending on your preference.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves, discarding any large stems.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the mixing bowl and toss everything together gently to coat evenly with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving for an even cooler flavor.
