Ingredients
-
Juice and zest of 2 limes
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 English cucumbers, diced (and peeled if you prefer)
1/2 red onion, diced fine (about 1/2 cup)
2 stalks celery, diced (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 jalapeno, seeds removed and minced
Tips
Are you serving the dish now or later? If you're making it ahead of time, toss the diced cucumber with 2 teaspoons salt in a colander. Place in kitchen sink for 20 minutes to allow the salt to pull out excess moisture from the cucumber. Rinse well, then drain.
Directions
Whisk together the lime zest and juice, pepper, and olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, and toss to combine. Serve chilled.
