Cucumber Radish Salsa

This Cucumber Radish Salsa is a great example of how easy it can be to build salsas that don't rely on tomatoes or tomatillos. A light, vibrant salsa that works great on tacos, tostadas, and even pita bread.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 English cucumber
  • 1/2 lb. radishes approximately 12 small radishes
  • 1/4 onion
  • 1/2 Serrano pepper
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro
  • 1 lime
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • black pepper freshly cracked

Instructions

  1. Give the radishes, cilantro, cucumber and serrano a good rinse under cold water.
  2. Remove stems and chop up the following ingredients, adding to a mixing bowl:  1 English cucumber, 1/2 lb. radishes, 1/4 onion, 1/2 serrano, 1/2 bunch cilantro, 1 garlic clove.
  3. Add the juice of a single lime (approximately 2 tablespoons) along with 1/4 teaspoon salt and some freshly cracked black pepper.  Combine well. 
  4. Taste for heat and seasoning.  I added another pinch of salt and another squeeze of lime to this batch. 
  5. If you want a more homogeneous flavor, keep chopping until the mixture is finely diced.
  6. Serve immediately.  Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • I usually twist off and discard the thicker, bottom portions of the cilantro but keep the upper portion of the stems.
  •  
  • I think it's worth using an English cucumber as the crisp crunch works well in this recipe.
  •  
  • The heat-salt-juice levels might take some tweaking but it's worth experimenting with them.  You'll be able to apply similar proportions to other, similar salsas.
