Dice the 2 large tomatoes, 1 medium red onion, 1/2 cucumber, and 1/2 green bell pepper into small, even pieces. Finely chop the 1 small chili (remove seeds for less heat).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, cucumber, bell pepper, and chili. Toss gently to mix.
Step 3
Drizzle with the 2 tbsp lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Step 4
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes so the flavors meld, then serve immediately. Enjoy as a fresh side or with grilled meat.
