Recipe of the Week: Cucumber Mint Salsa

Posted & filed under Recipes.

I can never get enough of cool, crisp meal accompaniments, and as we are nearing the warmer months, salsas are my favorite to prepare because they are super easy to get creative with and use up the abundance of seasonal produce available!

This particular recipe is perfect served over pan-seared scallops/shrimp or a light white fish (cod or tilapia) taco, or over a nice juicy Mediterranean-style burger! When I serve this salsa with seafood I always add toasted coconut-flakes, trust me, it’s amazing!

Oh, and this is always great on its own, make all the cuts a little “chunkier” and you have yourself a nice salad! And, of course you can eat this with chips for a unique chip/dip combo. Enjoy!

Ingredients

2 cups peeled diced cucumber (I use English cucumbers because they last longer in the fridge, and no need to peel them!)

1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped

1 finely diced jalapeno (seeds removed, or if you are cray-cray, leave the seeds in for some real added heat!)

Juice from one lime

1 TBSP Canola Oil

Drizzle of honey or agave

Salt and Pepper to taste

about 1/2 cup toasted coconut – optional

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients to a large bowl and stir together to mix flavors.
