Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.75 cup Cheddar cheese, cubed
Instructions
Wash all the fresh produce thoroughly under cold running water.
Quarter the cherry tomatoes and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Dice the red and yellow bell peppers into small, even cubes and add them to the bowl.
Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds if desired, and dice it into small pieces. Add it to the bowl.
Finely dice half of the red onion and add it to the vegetable mixture.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely, removing any large stems, and add it to the bowl.
Seed and finely mince the jalapeño (use gloves if preferred to prevent irritation). Add it to the mix for a bit of heat.
Drizzle the fresh lime juice and olive oil over the chopped ingredients.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper and gently toss everything together until evenly combined.
Add the cubed cheddar cheese to the salsa and carefully fold it in, being gentle to avoid breaking up the cheese.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, if desired, to let the flavors meld.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or as a topping for tacos or grilled meats.
