This cool Cucumber Salsa has a bit of spice from serrano pepper. It is a nice change from tomato salsa. It is perfect for Summer!
I am a huge salsa lover. Living in Arizona, that is a good thing, because it is available everywhere. There are many to choose from, but I love to make my own.
This Cucumber Salsa is the fourth salsa I have made for this blog (and I have another one I plan on making this week).
When I made Cucumber Salsa in the past I wasn't sure what to eat with it. After all, there's cucumbers in it! It is not the typical spicy tomato Salsa or Salsa Fresca that I am used to.
Sure, I have had other salsas like Black Bean and Grilled Corn Salsa, but that still has tomatoes, and it's practically a salad by itself.
Now I know at least one dish that this Cucumber Salsa goes well with - a vegan quesadilla with basil. I used vegan cream cheese, vegan Mozzarella and chopped basil leaves. The combination paired really well together.
