Notes

1. This can be substituted with brown or red onion, eschallots/French shallots, or the white part of shallots / scallions.

2. Use this recipe as a base and adjust to your taste, especially the lime juice, chilli/jalapeno and salt. Sometimes I add pepper and olive oil, especially if I serve this as a side salad which I often do.

3.
