Ingredients
- 2 cucumbers peeled and finely chopped
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 tomato deseeded and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro finely chopped
- 1 serrano pepper deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Salt or to taste
Instructions
- Add prepped cucumbers, onion, tomato, cilantro, serrano pepper, and lemon juice in a large bowl
- Sprinkle ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt over the mixture.
- Add the lemon juice and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For maximum freshness and flavor, slice the cucumbers and combine the ingredients just before serving; letting the salad sit for 10 minutes allows the spices to infuse beautifully.
- Reduce the heat level by choosing milder peppers or removing the seeds of the serrano pepper.
- Leftovers can be repurposed in wraps, sandwiches, or rice bowls, but are best served fresh; refrigerate for up to a day, but avoid freezing, as it impacts texture.
