A fresh salad made to cut through richer dishes. Crisp cucumber, red onion, and lime make every bite cool, juicy, and bright, with cilantro lifting the finish. A simple side that tends to disappear from the table first.
Cut the cucumber into thin half-moons and the red onion into fine slices, then chop the cilantro. Keep the cuts even so the dressing reaches every bite while the cucumber keeps its crunch and juiciness.
In a bowl, mix the lime juice, vegetable oil, and salt for about 20 seconds, until the dressing looks glossy. Add the cucumber, onion, and cilantro, toss gently, and serve right away: it should be cool, crisp, and distinctly tangy, with just a little juice at the bottom, never swimming in liquid.
Turn what you find into an experience you can actually bring to your kitchen.
