👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
Prepare the tomatoes: Core the tomatoes and dice them into uniform, bite-sized cubes, about 1/2 inch. Place the diced tomatoes in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Prepare the onion: Peel the red onion and slice it very thinly into half-moons. Add the sliced onion to the bowl with the tomatoes. The thin slicing will mellow its sharpness.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Prepare the jalapeño: For a milder heat, carefully slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and white membranes with a spoon. Finely mince the jalapeño flesh. Add the minced jalapeño to the bowl. Adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
Dress the salad: Pour the fresh lemon juice and neutral oil over the tomato, onion, and jalapeño mixture. Gently toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 5
Season and serve: Season the salad generously with salt to taste. Stir once more. The salad is best served immediately while the ingredients are crisp and fresh. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
