Spicy Cucumber Salsa
The 5 cosmetics I use on a day off
My friend Rebecca makes this MEAN cucumber salsa and I finally remembered to ask her for the recipe. She told me the ingredients, and a rough measurement of what she uses, but admitted she just adjusts everything to taste.
I typically do better following an exact recipe, but I was up to the challenge to try to duplicate her cucumber salsa!
Spicy Cucumber Salsa
3 whole cucumbers, chopped
2 jalapeños, chopped small
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/4 cup packed cilantro, roughly chopped
a squeeze of 1/2 of a lime
1 tbsp olive oil
salt to taste
Stir cucumber, jalapeños, red onion and cilantro together. Add olive oil and lime juice. Stir and let sit for 2 minutes. Taste, add salt, and adjust other ingredients as necessary.
I love a lot of cilantro so the more the merrier in my opinion. And I actually have some growing in a pot on my deck!
I’d highly recommend pairing this yummy salsa with a Margarita, as that is my absolute favorite drink in the summertime, but you do you.

Never thought to use cucumber in salsa! This looks delicious, and uses my favorite vegetable!
I don’t eat jalapeno’s or red onions but I would love to make this for guest!! 🙂
This looks delicious. I admit although I love salsa, I’m not the biggest fan of chunky tomatoes. This is the perfect alternative!
This would be really good on fish tacos!
That’s a fantastic idea!!
Love the idea of pairing this with a margherita! This salsa is giving me cravings!

That sounds absolutely delicious and so healthy!
Such a fresh summer alternative to regular salsa! Also, I need that bowl in my collection!
This looks amazing but I’m not really an onion fan, can I substitute with something else? I think adding crushed nuts would be great btw <3

Loved this recipe! I forgot red onion on my grocery pickup order, so used a white onion instead. Seeded the jalapeños and I’m telling you what, it’s incredible! I did miss the color from the red onion, though, so definitely going to make sure I have that for next time. Also, I don’t usually go for foods that are too spicy. This recipe had just enough kick to it, but not so much that you miss any flavor.
