Notes
- If your red onion is too spicy, soak it in cool water for 15 minutes.
- I like English cucumbers in this salad, they have fewer seeds!
- Chop produce into really small pieces so you get some of everything in each bite.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
- To store: I recommend not adding the dressing to the salad if you plan on storing it in the fridge as it can get soggy. This salad lasts for up to 4 days in the fridge when stored separately.
