Instructions

Step 1

Start by combining the lime juice and red onion in a bowl, then let it sit for about 5 minutes. This helps soften the sharpness of the onion. Next, add the ground cherries, cherry tomatoes, jalapeño, cucumber, cilantro, vinegar, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Give everything a good stir to mix all the flavors together. You can serve it right away if you like, or cover it and pop it in the fridge to chill until you're ready to enjoy.
