How To Make summer salad (all summer long)

  • 1
    Combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss well. Season with salt to taste. I use about 1-1/2 tsp. Kosher salt. Let it sit on the counter for about an hour if you can. Depending on how juicy your lime is will depend on 1 or 2 TBS> of the vinegar. This keeps well in the refrigerator and I have used it as a side dish or salad.
