Equipment
- Veggie Chopper optional
- Citrus Press optional
Ingredients
- 2-3 Cucumbers We prefer the organic English cucumbers
- 1 Red Onion
- 1 Jalapeno
- 1/4 cup Cilantro, packed roughly chopped
- 1/2 Lime, squeezed If the lime is small, use the juice of the full lime
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt to taste We will typically sprinkle some garlic salt in, as well
Instructions
- Chop/dice the cucumbers and red onion to the preferred size. We like them diced small for salsa or chopped a bit larger for a salad. Dice the jalapenos for either method, removing the seeds if you don't want it spicy. Adjust the amount of seeds you include based upon how spicy you want the salsa.
- Stir all the veggies and cilantro together in a large bowl.
- Add the lime juice and olive oil and mix well. Allow to sit for a few minutes.
- Add salt to taste. We are fairly generous with the salt on this one and will also shake in garlic salt for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Cover and refrigerate for an hour or so before serving for best flavor. We will add additional salt if necessary.
- Serve with your favorite tortilla chips (we love the cantina style) or use as a topping on your favorite summer meals.
