1
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro thoroughly under cold water. Peel the cucumbers and cut them into small cubes. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Carefully slice the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds (if you prefer less heat), and finely chop it.

2
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, chopped jalapeño, chopped cilantro, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion.
3
Add Seasoning
Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over the mixture. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.

4
Chill and Serve
Let the cucumber jalapeño fresca sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or topping for tacos.
