• 2-3 medium sized limes juiced

• 2 tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro can also use parsley if you prefer

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

• Place the sliced cucumbers, sliced onions, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and olive oil in a bowl.

• Mix well, taste and add salt as needed.

• Serve immediately or let rest refrigerated for at least 30 minutes before serving.
