To prepare the cucumbers, peel them, cut them in half from top to bottom and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds. Dice into ½ cm cubes. Dice the tomatoes to the same size.

Place the cucumbers and tomatoes in a fine-mesh strainer or colander set over a bowl. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt and mix well. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow the excess water to drain off. Stir from time to time.

In a large bowl, combine the drained tomatoes and cucumbers, onion, hot peppers, cilantro, and lime juice. Taste and add more salt of you think it’s necessary - I added another ¼ teaspoon.

Serve right away or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
