SOAK red onions in ice water or about 2 tbsp of lime juice for at least 10 minutes (this will make the onions less pungent). Drain before adding to salad.
COMBINE all dressing ingredients together. The dressing should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add water one teaspoon at a time.
ADD all the salad ingredients to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss until well combined.
