- 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced Ontario Shallot or Red Onion

- 2 tbsp (25 mL) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch cayenne pepper
Instructions
In large bowl, combine cucumbers, yellow pepper, tomatoes, shallot and coriander. Add lemon juice, cumin, salt, black pepper and cayenne; toss to combine. Taste and add more lemon juice if needed.
Tips: This salad is best served immediately to make sure the vegetables retain their crunch. If you like, chop the vegetables up to 2 hours ahead, cover and refrigerate. Add lemon juice and seasonings just before serving.
Swap fresh coriander (cilantro) with equal amount of chopped fresh Ontario mint.
