How to make it
4 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Place the thinly sliced red onions

10 minCombine the diced tomatoes, drained onions, and diced cucumber
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, drained onions, and diced cucumber (if using).
Add the minced chili, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil
Add the minced chili, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil (if using). Toss gently to combine all ingredients.

A little kitchen wisdom
Soaking the sliced onions in salted water helps remove their sharp 'bite' while keeping them crunchy. For an authentic kick, use a Scotch Bonnet or Habanero chili.
