A taste of summer! Cucumber Salsa with a nice bite!

Sometimes, one little tweak in technique or process using the same set of ingredients makes a noticeable difference in the result.Juicy, tangy, fresh tomatoes on your salad are one flavor experience quite different from the mellowed, sweet, almost caramelized flavor of the roasted or stewed ones on your pasta. The marinade that's grilled (and caramelized) on your steak or pork chop is a totally other, yet complementary, thing to the raw marinade used as a dipping sauce...And pico de gallo - with the separate bits of savory onion, hot jalapeno, zesty tomato and fragrant cilantro, all steeped in the refreshing juice of fresh lime - transforms into a luscious, piquant salsa suitable for dressing, dipping or marinating, when blended and emulsified with a little bit of oil.While this blended version is not necessarily superior to the chunky stuff, I've found that one advantage to blending/emulsification is that the stuff keeps its flavor and integrity longer than pico de gallo, which sweats a lot of liquid within a few hours of making, throwing off the flavor balance and altering the texture of the individual components in a way I don't enjoy as much.And sometimes you just like smooth better than chunky. ;)

This is a simple colorful mango salsa it's easy to make . It's sweet spicy and delicious . Serve it with tacos or as salad .

I made my Salsa Verde for taco night, but soon realized that it is also a great topping no just for tacos and chips, but also for scrambled eggs, chicken and fish! Give it a try! 😄

This is a very flavorful salsa. The cranberries provide a slightly tart flavor. Cilantro gives it an authentic salsa flavor. Lime juice keeps the flavor bright, and the amount jalapeno can be varied for personal preference.

One must have a TALL glass of H2O when eating this kind of salsa! :hungry

I just added the jalapeño for a little kick and used sweet onion instead. I also added a small amount of my favorite mild taco sauce for some added flavor.

Fresh mango salsa with a kick. It can be eaten alone, grilled chicken pitas,wraps or salads 😊😉😍

Everyone that has tried this has loved it! You will swear off store bought salsa once you've had a taste of this! :-)

Perfect to add a little bit of each salsa/dip/vinaigrette to quinoa, tacos, rice, or tortillas for fajitas

I did not have salsa and did not want to go to the store so i went to the cabinet and came up with this. you can use cilantro if you have it, i did not so i used what i had. i also do not like chunky salsa so if you like chunky salsa you can use regular diced tomato or skip the blending step and juct chop the jalapeno

I love this as a filling for taco or burritos and even on top of nachos.
