Cucumber Salsa Ingredients

Method

Cucumber Salsa Directions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Wash the cucumbers, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro thoroughly under running water.

2

Chop the Cucumbers

Peel the cucumbers if desired, then chop them into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

3

Dice the Jalapeño

Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for less heat, then finely dice it and add it to the bowl with the cucumbers.

4

Chop the Red Onion

Finely chop the red onion and add it to the mixing bowl with the cucumbers and jalapeño.

5

Add the Cilantro

Roughly chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl, mixing it in with the other ingredients.

6

Mix the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, agave nectar, salt, and pepper until well combined.

7

Combine Everything

Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and stir gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated.

8

Chill and Serve

Cover the bowl and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
