Ingredients Needed for Cucumber Salsa

Cucumber – You’ll need 2 medium-sized English cucumbers of this recipe. Be sure to remove the ends and the core to help prevent the salsa from getting too watery. Dice into small, evenly sized pieces.

Vegetables – You’ll need red onion or shallots for this recipe. I used shallots because they tend to be slightly milder than red onion, but you can use whatever you enjoy most. You’ll also need fresh jalapeno. Be sure to remove the seeds and veins to prevent the jalapeno from being too spicy.

Herbs / Fruit / Seasoning – I used freshly chopped cilantro for this salsa. However, if cilantro isn’t your thing, you can use freshly chopped Italian parsley instead. You will also need fresh squeezed lime juice. Option to use lemon juice if you prefer. Lastly, you’ll need salt to season the salsa and some sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.
