A refreshing and tangy onion salad with a hint of lime, perfect for summer days.
Peel and thinly slice the onions and place them in a large salad bowl.
Soak the onion slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce their sharpness.
Dice the tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the onions.
Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic.
Whisk the dressing until it emulsifies for a smooth texture.
Pour the dressing over the onions and tomatoes, and toss to combine.
Ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Sprinkle the lime zest and chopped cilantro over the salad and toss gently.
Add the cilantro just before serving to keep it fresh.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
Serve with a wedge of lime for an extra burst of freshness.
