Sweet Cottage Dreams

For a refreshing taste of summer, well - what is left of it - just try

out this Cucumber Salsa. Miss K, my son't sweet girlfriend, loves to

try out new recipes and shared this one with me. We bought the ingredients and put it together - and boy-oh-boy, was it GOOD! We served it with stone-ground tortilla chips.

Yum-E!

It is so fresh...

.... and flavorful.

Summer Cucumber Salsa

INGREDIENTS

3 medium-large cucumbers

3 small-medium tomatoes

1 green bell pepper

1/2 cup red onion

2 jalapeno peppers

2 Tbsp minced cilantro

2 Tbsp minced fresh dill

3 squeezes of lime juice (either from wedges or a lime-bottle)

DIRECTIONS

Peel cucumber and chop remaining cucumber flesh into small pieces. Remove seeds from tomatoes and discard. Chop remaining flesh into small pieces. Remove seeds from bell pepper and discard. Chop bell pepper into small pieces. Remove seeds from jalapeno peppers and chop into very small pieces (or mince). Chop red onion into small pieces. Mince cilantro and dill. Combine all chopped veggies in a large bowl. Add cilantro and dill and mix together well. Add a few squeezes of lime juice and mix together again.

note: I did not use the dill or jalapenos, nor did I remove the seeds from the cucumbers or tomatoes.
