Materials

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 medium cucumbers, peeled and diced
  • 1 pkg. panela cheese (12 - 16 oz.), cut into 1/2" cubes
  • 1 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. white vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp. black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, and cubed panela cheese. Toss gently to combine.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white vinegar, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Pour the dressing over the salad and stir gently until everything is coated.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir again before serving since the dressing settles at the bottom as it chills. Enjoy!
