Start by dicing 1 cucumber, 2 tomatoes, and half a red onion into small, even cubes. Soak the diced onion in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes to mellow the sharpness.

In a spacious salad bowl, combine the diced cucumber, tomatoes, and drained red onion. Add chopped cilantro and ensure the ingredients are nicely dispersed.

Drizzle approximately 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the juice of one lime over the salad mixture. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

Gently toss the salad until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing. Let the salad rest for about 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve your Mediterranean Salad in a lovely dish, garnishing with additional cilantro if desired.
