Instructions

1
Prep Vegetables (5 mins)

2
Combine Ingredients (5 mins)
- In a medium bowl, crumble the queso fresco using a fork or your hands.
- Add the chopped onion, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro to the bowl.
3
Dress and Mix (3 mins)
- Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lime juice over the ingredients.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Gently stir everything together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the crumbly texture of the cheese.
4
Chill and Serve (2 mins + 30 mins chilling)
