Instructions

Preparation:
- Wash the spring onions and cucumbers thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Chop the Ingredients:
- Trim the roots and any wilted parts from the spring onions. Finely chop both the green and white parts of the onions and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
- Peel the cucumbers, if desired, or leave the skin on for added texture. Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Dice the cucumber flesh into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the spring onions.
Mixing:
- Squeeze the juice from the lemon over the chopped spring onions and cucumbers. Gently toss the ingredients together to ensure they are evenly coated with the lemon juice.
Marination:
- Allow the mixture to marinate for a short while to let the flavors meld together. This could take about 15 minutes or longer, depending on your preference for the intensity of flavors.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once marinated to your liking, your Spring Onion Salsa is ready to serve. Enjoy it as a refreshing side dish, a topping for grilled meats or fish, or as a dip for tortilla chips.

Storage Tips:

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within a day or two for the freshest taste and texture.

Pairing Suggestions:

Serve this Spring Onion Salsa alongside grilled chicken breasts or fish for a light and flavorful meal.
Use it as a topping for tacos or nachos to add a refreshing crunch and tangy kick to your favorite Mexican dishes.
Enjoy it spooned over a bed of mixed greens for a simple yet satisfying salad.
