Cucumber Salsa – A Refreshing Summer Salsa Recipe
Did you know cucumbers belong to the same plant family as squash, pumpkin, and watermelon? And that cucumbers are made up of mostly water (95%)? This means eating can help you stay hydrated. Plus, they are filling so they make a great snack that helps keep your weight in check or to have as a snack with almost any weight loss program.
With vitamin K, B vitamins, copper, potassium, vitamin C, and manganese, cucumbers can help you to avoid nutrient deficiencies that are widespread when eating a SAD or Standard American diet.
Cucumbers also contain unique polyphenols and other compounds that may help reduce your risk of chronic diseases and so much more.

CHUNKY CUCUMBER SALSA
Mix all ingredients below in a bowl, cover and refrigerate a few hours to let flavors infuse – overnight is best. Serve with healthy Beantos tortilla chips or for an even healthier choice, use yellow, orange and red peppers.

- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dill weed

Desire a less chunky version, just add everything to food processor and pulse a couple times.
Having party? Double or triple and let flavors infuse overnight.
