Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 small Jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 medium Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry all produce.
Dice the English cucumber into small, evenly sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
Core and dice the Roma tomatoes, removing excess seeds if desired, and add to the bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the mixture.
Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño for less heat (if desired), then finely chop it and add to the bowl.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stir them into the mixture.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salsa mixture. Use a citrus juicer for best results.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the mixture, then gently toss everything together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, add more lime juice or a pinch of salt for brighter flavor.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Best enjoyed fresh!
