Cucumber Salsa
This easy salsa is intensely packed with flavor and is the perfect healthy snack or appetizer. A blend of crunchy cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, herbs and seasonings… it’s also a perfect addition to grilled fish or fish tacos.
It was all I could do not to take one of those chips 
and devour that salsa while I was photographing 
, it’s THAT good! This recipe yields approximately 3 cups of salsa and goes QUICK, so you might want to double the ingredients if it’s an appetizer for a party.
I could seriously snack on this every day (without any guilt!)… ENJOY!

Is there any way to can or preserve this recipe?
Hi Sheri, I’ve never tried canning/preserving this so I can’t say with 100% certainty. I’d love to know how it turns out if you try it!
Made today and it was amazing. I used 2 big jalapenos, cause I like spice. I used burpless cukes that I picked today. Put them on some breaded chicken tacos.
Thank you for the recipe

We picked so. many. cucumbers. I was looking for a way to use them up and stumbled upon this recipe. Oh, my, it’s soooooo good! We don’t even have any ripe tomatoes, unfortunately, so I made it without them. Even without the tomato, this salsa is amazing. Can’t wait to try it on our street tacos tonight!

Thank you so much, Janet – I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
So good! How long can I expect it to last in the fridge?
Hi Jennifer, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Store covered in the fridge (in an airtight container) for up to 3 days.
This is FANTASTIC! I was lucky enough to make this with some cucumbers from my own garden. I did leave the seeds in the jalapeno because I do like spicy salsa. Absolutely love this. Thank you so much!
