Instructions

  1. Peel the cucumber and carrot, then cut them into fine julienne.
  2. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes and finely slice the red onion.
  3. Slice the green chilies into thin rounds, removing the seeds for a milder heat.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the vegetables with the salt and let rest for 5 minutes so they release some water.
  5. Add the juice of the limes and the sesame oil, then mix well.
  6. Adjust the seasoning with salt and lime to your taste.
  7. Serve chilled, topped with peanuts and cilantro if you like.

Variations and tips

Dried shrimp version. Add a handful of rehydrated, chopped dried shrimp for a more marine flavor.

With what you can find here. Lemon can replace lime, but it will be a little less fragrant.
