Preparation
Wash the tomatoes and cucumber, and cut them into small, even 1 cm dice.
Finely slice the red onion, place it in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to soften its sharpness, then drain well.
Roughly chop the fresh coriander.
In a bowl, gently combine the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and coriander.
Drizzle with the juice of one lime and a splash of oil, season with salt and pepper.
Toss one last time right before serving: this salad is best made at the last moment so the vegetables stay crisp and the juices don''t dilute too much.
