Step-by-step
Using a different robot? Switch it here:
- Cut the onion in fine julienne with a knife and leave in cold salted water for 10 min to remove the sharpness.
- Cut the tomatoes in thin wedges by hand to keep their shape.
- Put the cilantro in the mixing bowl and chop 2 sec/speed 4.
- Drain the onion very well and mix it in a bowl with the tomato and the chopped cilantro.
- Add the chili in fine strips if you wish.
- Dress with olive oil, vinegar or lemon and salt just before serving.
- Mix carefully and serve fresh as a side.
Tips
- Soaking the onion softens it and makes it more digestible.
- Dress at the end so the tomato does not release too much water.
- Pairs with grilled meats, empanadas or any Chilean dish.
