This vibrant and zesty condiment is perfect for serving over bread, potatoes, or your favorite savory dishes. A quick rinse of the onions helps neutralize their bite, allowing the bright flavors of lime and cilantro to shine. ![](https://ivu.org/images/yootheme/icon-clock-large.svg) Total Time 30 mins ![](https://ivu.org/images/yootheme/icon-difficulty-easy.svg) Difficulty Easy ### Translate this page to your language!

Cube the onion into small pieces. Add sugar, salt, or hot water and rinse; this is to neutralize the flavor of the onion (a common technique in Caribbean and Latin American cooking). 2. Chop the cilantro and mix with the onion. 3. Add the hot pepper paste, minced garlic, olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, water, and salt to taste. 4. Mix well and let stand to allow the flavors to meld. 5. Serve on your favorite dishes. ### Notes: Tip: Rinsing the cubed onions with sugar, salt, or hot water is a great technique to neutralize their strong, pungent flavor before mixing them into the sauce. **Serving info:** Total recipe: 240g · Yields 8 portions · Portion size: 30g | Nutrient | Per 100g | Per Portion | % Daily Value | |---|---|---|---| | Energy (kcal) | 90 | 27 | 1% | | Carbohydrates (g) | 6.4 | 1.9 | 1% | | ↳ of which sugars (g) | 3.2 | 1.0 | - | | Dietary fiber (g) | 1.5 | 0.5 | 2% | | Protein (g) | 1.2 | 0.4 | 1% | | Total fat (g) | 6.6 | 2.0 | 3% | | ↳ saturated (g) | 0.9 | 0.3 | 2% | | ↳ monounsaturated (g) | 4.8 | 1.4 | - | | ↳ polyunsaturated (g) | 0.7 | 0.2 | - | | ↳ trans (g) | 0 | 0 | - | | Sodium (mg) | 280 | 84 | 4% | | Calcium (mg) | 25 | 7.5 | 1% | | Iron (mg) | 0.5 | 0.15 | 1% | | Potassium (mg) | 160 | 48 | 1% | | Vitamin C (mg) | 15 | 4.5 | 5% | | Vitamin B12 (µg) | 0 | 0 | 0% | ### Ingredient data sources - Onions, raw — 150g — Onions, raw — USDA SR Legacy - Cilantro, raw — 30g — Coriander (cilantro) leaves, raw — USDA SR Legacy - Red pepper paste — 45g — Chili paste — USDA Foundation - Olive oil — 27g — Oil, olive, salad or cooking — USDA SR Legacy - Lime juice, raw — 15g — Lime juice, raw — USDA SR Legacy - Vinegar — 15g — Vinegar, cider — USDA SR Legacy ⚠️ = estimated or sourced outside the listed databases. % Daily Value based on FDA 2020 Daily Values for adults (2,000 kcal diet).
