This Easy Cucumber Salsa Is a Refreshing & Versatile Condiment
Call it salsa, relish, or a minced cucumber salad—I just think it's so refreshing. This is a great gazpacho topper, taco trimming, fish accompaniment...I could go on. You'll discover the versatility of this recipe once you taste it.
Chadwick’s Checklist
What you need to know before you cook.
- Don't remove the seeds: that liquid is like precious caviar. It macerates with the other ingredients and intensifies the flavor of the salsa.
- Make this a day ahead of time. The flavor gets better after 24 hours.
