Table of Contents
Refreshing and easy to make, my 10-minute cucumber salsa recipe is one of my favorite healthy sides that doubles as a sandwich filling.
I purposefully added lots of cilantro and garlic to enhance the flavor!
You can skip the garlic entirely and use parsley instead of cilantro for a more mild taste that will not overpower your main dish.
Flaky salt will add a wonderful texture but you can use regular salt as well.
I absolutely LOVE this salsa as a dip scooped up on my keto Dorito's and tortilla chips.
My salsa with cucumber recipe can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to serve.
