Recipe by:

"A pretty simple recipe, quick and easy to prepare, salsa criolla is the perfect accompaniment to many dishes. The lime juice is what makes this onion salsa/relish special. It adds a bright flavor that sweetens the onions and livens up everything else on the plate. Great summer dish! Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days."

Loved this! We had it with grilled steak and potatoes and it was the perfect compliment to a summer meal. The only change I made was to add about a T of superfine sugar (only because I like pick...
