Peruvian Red Onion Salad image

It's 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!!!
