Step 5: In the same large bowl, add the lime juice, thinly sliced red onion, diced red bell pepper, diced cucumber, finely chopped jalapeño pepper, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6: Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
