Cucumber salad with lime and cilantro

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 small red onion (sliced)

2 cucumbers (peeled or not – based on your preference, sliced)

2-3 medium sized limes (juiced)

2 tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro (can also use parsley if you prefer)

2 tablespoons of olive oil

Salt to taste

Directions

To remove some of the bitterness/spiciness from the onions, place the onion slices in a bowl, sprinkle about ½ tablespoon of salt over the onions. Rub the salt in and then cover with water for a few minutes. Then drain and rinse the onions well.

Place the sliced cucumbers, sliced onions, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and olive oil in a bowl.

Mix well, taste and add salt as needed.

Serve immediately or let rest refrigerated for at least 30 minutes before serving.
