Instructions

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
Squeeze the lime juice over the salad, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately or chill before serving.

Notes

Serve it straight from the bowl with crusty bread or over warmed quinoa or rice. It holds up nicely for picnics if dressing is kept separate. Leftovers stay fresh in the fridge for up to two days.
