Israeli Cucumber Tomato Salad

One day I happened to run into Liora at the cucumber table in the local Persian market.  As we were picking over the cucumbers she gave me this recipe.   Since she listed the ingredients without quantities, so I have played around with them and come up with the following ratios.  There should be similar amounts of cucumbers and tomatoes, less onion.


Ingredients:

4 medium Persian cucumbers
2 medium tomatoes
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup cilantro (optional)
Salt
Pepper


Preparation:

Coarsely dice cucumbers and tomatoes and mix together.  When ready to serve, add diced red onion, olive oil,  lime juice, and cilantro.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
