I found this recipe and I had an over abundance of cucumbers from my garden, so I made some and brought it to work. Once coworker's comment was "I could sit here and eat gallons of this."

1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp lime juice
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp seasoned salt

Steps:

  • 1. After peeling, seeding, and chopping cucumber, I would recommend draining some of the excess water/fluid from the cucumbers by placing the chopped cucumbers in a colander.

  • Use a variety of colors of bell peppers and cucumbers to make your salsa more visually appealing.
  • Be sure to dice the vegetables into small pieces so that they are easy to eat.
  • Add a bit of lime juice to brighten up the flavors of the salsa.
  • If you like spicy salsa, add a jalapeño pepper or two to the mix.
  • For a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper before adding it to the salsa.
  • Serve the salsa immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
