Cucumber Salad with Lime and Cilantro

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

PREPARATION:

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.
