This recipe popped up on Facebook and I had to give it a try. However, with a counter full of ripe tomatoes and spicy peppers, I opted to use those instead of the can of RoTel tomatoes called for in the original recipe. Ranch dressing mix is definitely the secret flavor ingredient. I had Barry taste it even before it had a chance to marinate and meld flavors. He thought it was full of flavor and a great use of our garden produce. This is definitely a recipe where ingredients can be adjusted according to preference or what's on hand!
SALSA OR SALAD? Although this is good chips, we think it is a great summer salad!
Cucumber Salsa/Salad
1 medium to large cucumber, finely diced
1/2 medium onion, finely diced (I used red)
2 ripe tomatoes, cored & finely diced
2 jalapeño, seeded & finely diced
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons Ranch dressing mix
Kosher salt & coarse pepper to taste
- Mix the veggies together.
- Add the vinegar and dry ranch dressing mix; mix well.
- Chill.
