Ingredients

Scale

To make this delightful salsa, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2 large cucumbers, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeds removed and minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

If you’re feeling adventurous, you could substitute the cilantro with fresh mint for a different twist or add a pinch of cinnamon to introduce a hint of warmth that reminds me of my mum’s creative flair in the kitchen.

Instructions

Here’s how you can whip up this delightful salsa in no time:

  1. Begin by preparing your vegetables. Peel the cucumbers and dice them into small cubes. Quarter the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion.
  2. Mince the jalapeño carefully, removing the seeds if you prefer a milder heat.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño.
  4. Add in the chopped cilantro, and give everything a gentle toss to combine.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and olive oil. Pour this dressing over the salsa mixture.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring well to ensure all the flavors meld beautifully together.
  7. Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes before serving, allowing the ingredients to marinate and the flavors to develop fully.

Remember, as my mum used to say, the key to any dish is to taste as you go. Trust your palate and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
