Cucumber and Mint Summer Salsa Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber or 2 small cucumbers or 6 Persian cucumbers about 1/2 pound to 3/4 pound total, seeded and finely diced (peel thick-skinned cucumbers)
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion or shallot
- 1/4 cup finely diced orange or yellow bell pepper
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint
- 1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp minced jalapeño - on the side
Instructions
- Place all ingredients, except jalapeño, in a medium bowl, and gently stir to combine. Place chopped jalapeño in a bowl on the side for people who like it hot!
- Alternatively place all ingredients in chunks in a food processor and gently pulse until just combined. Over pulsing will result in a liquid vs salsa texture.
- Store for several days, covered and chilled in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
Perfect for serving with grilled fish, chicken or seafood. Kids LOVE it with vegetable sticks for dipping.
