- Tomatoes — Choose ripe and juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Remove the seeds before dicing to avoid excess moisture in the salad.
- Red onion — Finely chop the red onion to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the dish.
- Cilantro or green onions — Use either cilantro or green onions based on personal preference. Chop them finely to add a burst of freshness to the salad.

- For an extra kick of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Serve the Lomi-Lomi Salmon on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves for an added crunch.
- If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the chopped red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice and honey in the marinade according to your taste preferences.
- This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
