Coriander and tomato salad

This is the perfect Indian salad for the Indian summer* that we are enjoying this week.  The lemon juice removes the bite from the red onions making it a zesty crunchy salad ideal with barbequed meat.

* Apparently this isn't really an "Indian summer"; the definition of a true Indian summer is an unseasonably warm, dry and calm weather, following the first frost.  Given that we haven't had any frost yet, this is just odd weather.  Regardless - I'm happy!
