Let me start out by saying, when I want to eat salsa I want a pureed sweet tomato based salsa. So there is no way I am going to be able to give this recipe 5 stars. Now, with that said...I loved this. It was crisp and refreshing...but not a "salsa" in my book. Would I eat this again? Yes, for sure. Would I sit down and eat the entire bowl with a bag of chips? No. (And I could do that with regular salsa, sad to say).
PS...if you don't have a chop wizard to cut up your cucumber and red onion, you are going to be chopping forever. And as long as we are talking about the chop wizard, don't, I repeat DON'T put tomatoes in it. You will have a very big seedy mess all over you, your cabinets and your floor if you do. Don't say I didn't warn you!
2 cups finely chopped seeded peeled cucumber
1/2 cup finely chopped seeded tomato
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
1 jalepeno pepper, seeded and chopped
4-1/2 tsp minced fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
1/4 c reduced-fat sour cream
1-1/2 tsp lemon juice
1-1/2 tsp lime juice
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
Tortilla chips
In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In another bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, lime juice, cumin and seasoned salt. Pour over cucumber mixture and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately with chips.
This is super, super healthy. The entire bowl of salsa is 2 ww+ pts. It's the chips that are the downfall. :(
