Ingredients

  • ½ purple onion
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 cup cucumber
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 jalapeno (Optional)

Instructions

  • Finely dice all of the ingredients. (see notes)
  • Mix in the salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

Notes

Onion - Don't dice the onion too fine, or else it will water. If you want, you can soak the chopped onion in cold water for 5-10 minutes. This helps make it taste milder.
Cucumber - Use English cucumbers or mini cucumbers if available. These have a firm texture, thin skin, and fewer seeds than traditional cucumbers. If using a regular cucumber, then peel and deseed it.
Tomato - Use a firm tomato and deseed it if it has too many seeds.
