200 g.
4 sweet peppers

15 g.
5 padrón peppers or sweet peppers
2 limes
1 sprig coriander
¼ cup oil
¼ cup vinegar

Instructions

1 In the bowl place the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir until the salt
dissolves.
2 Peel the onions, cut them in half, and place them on a cutting board. Thinly
slice them into julienne strips. Immediately add them to the bowl.

knife, or with a teaspoon, scrape the inside of the peppers. Extract the veins
and seeds. Immediately dice them into small squares. Add them to the bowl, and
stir.
4 After washing and draining the fresh cilantro, put it on a board, and cut it as
finely as possible; including the stems.

until everything is well mixed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or cover it,
put it in the fridge for at least half. Before serving, stir again.
