Chunky Cucumber-Avocado Salsa

Jump to Recipe

.

This salsa/salad pairs well with several different meals.  A delightful option is to serve it in  crisp butter lettuce cups. A great accompaniment to beans and tortillas or as a chunky dip with dried whole-wheat pita chips or bread sticks and a little fresh basil.  You can also vary it by adding 1/2 cup sweet corn (thawed, frozen works well) with cilantro.  The quantities can easily be adjusted to fit your own taste, and diced Roma tomatoes may replace the red pepper.
