Kavitha's Cool Summer Salsa
- Number of Servings: 1
Ingredients
Cucumber - use medium size unless you want the cucumber taste to dominate; then large.Honeydew melon - any will do; you want to have at least twice as much melon by volume as cucumber ( Publix has the King o' West melons in season now and they are perfect for this recipe).Use fresh ground black pepper to taste, not a fixed measure.Use Ground Cumin to taste. Start with small amts as the flavor is strong and add until you like it.
Peel cucumbers, remove the seeds and dice into a small salsa size dice. Do the same for the honeydew melon. You should have about a 2 to 1 ratio of melon to cucumber. Finely chop a RED ONION and add to the mixture ( here again the amt and size of the onion is up to your taste). Add fresh ground Black pepper to taste. Add Ground Cumin to taste ( start with small amts and taste as you go. Finish with the fresh juice of 2 limes, mix well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors blend. Enjoy with chips, or as a relish!
