Directions

Combine all ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Toss to blend and let stand 30 minutes, tossing once or twice, before serving. Note: Cut the lemon into 1/8-inch slices with a very sharp serrated knife. Stack a few of the slices and cut them into 1/8-inch strips, then cut the strips crosswise into 1/8-inch cubes.
