Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole English cucumber
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 whole Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the cucumber and pat it dry. Slice it into thin rounds or half-moons depending on your preference.
Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set them aside in a mixing bowl.
Slice the red onion into very thin strips (julienne-style), ensuring the pieces are not too overpowering in the salad.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves. Discard the thicker stems.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Combine the cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and chopped cilantro in the mixing bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together to ensure uniform coating.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and optionally garnish with extra cilantro leaves for a fresh presentation.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
