This was a good snack/side dish. Although I made a few tweaks to it that I recommend. Instead of lime juice I used lemon juice. Instead of yellow tomatoes I used yellow sweet bell peppers. I also did not use any onions simply because I dont care for them. I would recommend using only 1 tablespoon of olive oil though, 2 seemed like too much to me.
