Cool Cucumber Salsa Recipe

December 15, 2022 By Jessica Leave a Comment

This cucumber salsa recipe adds a pop of brightness to tacos, lettuce wraps, salads, chips, burritos, and so much more. Healthy, refreshing, and jam-packed with flavor.

Cucumber Salsa Recipe

I’m a big fan of different varieties of salsa to spruce up a meal. My Super Quick Authentic Restaurant Style Salsa is a true crowd pleaser, this Sheet Pan Roasted Corn Salsa is phenomenal with hearty chips, and my Creamy Tomatillo Salsa Verde will make any green-salsa-lover swoon.

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED:

I recently made this recipe to pair with my Sirloin Fajita Lettuce Wraps. The mix of spicy beef, savory bell pepper + onion, alongside the cool cucumber salsa was PERFECTION! Here’s what you’ll need to chop up:

  • English Cucumber
  • Tomato
  • Red Onion
  • Cilantro
  • Jalapeno Peppers
  • Garlic
  • Lime Juice
  • Kosher Salt

While you can make this with a regular cucumber, English cucumbers tend to have less seeds to scoop out. If using a regular cucumber, I recommend peeling off the skin – it’s a little tougher and tastes slightly bitter.

NOTES ON THIS RECIPE:

  • I prefer a Roma, vine-ripe or cherry tomatoes. 
  • Chop the cucumber, tomato, and red onion into similar size pieces for a balanced consistency. 
  • This recipe is mild by using only one jalapeño. Feel free to add another if you’d like some heat. 
  • If you’re not a fan of raw garlic, you can sauté it for a few minutes or substitute with 1 teaspoon of Garlic Powder.
