Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
Instructions
Wash all produce thoroughly under cold running water.
Peel the English cucumber if desired (optional). Finely dice the cucumber and add it to a medium mixing bowl.
Core and dice the Roma tomatoes, removing the seeds if preferred for a less watery salsa. Add to the bowl.
Finely dice the small red onion and add it to the bowl with the cucumber and tomatoes.
Remove the stem of the jalapeño pepper, slice it in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and membrane for a milder heat. Finely chop and add to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and stir them into the mixture.
Drizzle the lime juice and olive oil over the chopped vegetables.
Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Stir the mixture gently but thoroughly until fully combined.
Taste the salsa relish and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding more lime juice, salt, or cumin to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Use it as a topping for grilled meats, tacos, or enjoy it as a dip with your favorite tortilla chips.
