Mix and Marinate Salad

Start by mixing the lime juice and red onion in a bowl, then let it sit for about 5 minutes. This helps soften the sharpness of the onion. Next, add the ground cherries, cherry tomatoes, jalapeno, cucumber, cilantro, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a good stir to combine all the flavors. You can serve it right away if you like, or cover it and pop it in the fridge to let the flavors meld before serving.
