Begin by washing and dicing your fresh cucumber, juicy tomatoes, and zesty red onions into small, bite-sized cubes. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the red onion in cold water for about 10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, add the diced cucumber, tomatoes, and the drained red onion. Chop a handful of fresh cilantro and toss it into the bowl for that herbaceous pop.

Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil and freshly squeezed lime juice over the combined ingredients. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Once everything is well-combined, lightly toss the salad again to ensure even coverage of the dressing. Allow your salad to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
