Cucumber Salsa
(Recipe source: Simple and Delicious)

This is such a wonderful salsa. It's just perfect for summer! Plus, it couldn't be easier to throw together. It's become one of my favorites!

2 cups finely chopped, peeled and seeded cucumber (pressed with paper towels to remove excess water)
1/2 cup finely chopped seeded tomato
1/4 cup chopped red onion
4 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
1/4 c Greek yogurt or sour cream
1-1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Assortment of veggies and/or chips for dipping

In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In another bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, lime juice, pepper and salt. Pour over cucumber mixture and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately with veggies and/or chips.

Hi walker! Nice to 'see' you! Yes, it's really so yummy. I've found myself just eating it with a spoon ${#emotions_dlg.blushing}$
It has about 15 calories per 1/4 cup. (w/o chips, of course) YaY!
