SWEET CUCUMBER SALSA



Sweet Cucumber Salsa image

I got this recipe for the Sunday paper, made it tonight and it is AWESOME. It's got a little heat with the sweet! I served it with plain tortilla chips. The original recipe suggested serving w/crab cakes. I suppose any seafood will rock with this accompanying it. Recipe courtesy of Chef Scott Uehlein, Canyon Ranch in Western Massachusetts.

  • Serve the salsa with tortilla chips, grilled chicken or fish, or your favorite Mexican dish.
  • For a spicier salsa, add a diced jalapeño pepper or serrano pepper.
