When in need of a quick snack that is a more on the nutritious side than not, I chop up a bowlful of Salsa Fresca. Juicy red tomatoes, crunchy kirby cucumbers, and diced, sharp onion are the main stars of this quick bite.
Served in one of my favorite inventions - the Tostito Scoop - which is a perfect petit bowl to hold a the ideal amount of this fresh goodness. I vary the recipe at times adding some chopped cilantro or julienned basil, but it stands well just on its own.
Add a Sunset Margarita for a happy, happy hour.
Salsa Fresca
2 large ripe tomatoes, diced, 3 cups
1 kirby cucumber, diced (or substitute 1/2 of an English cucumber), 1 cup
1/2 medium onion, diced, 1 cup

In a bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Season with slat and pepper and about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat. Serve with tortilla chips.

Perfect with those lovely drinks! Have a happy Friday and the rest of your weekend. Enjoy your Easter!
Sounds yummy! I like trying new kinds of salsa.
Great idea for filling those scoops! I will definitely be serving this on the deck this summer.
I make fresh salsa quite a lot, but have never thought of putting it in the little scoop bowls ... what a cute idea :)
I love your recipes! I just wanted to add that I like to spread a little goat cheese on a cracker and top it with fresh salsa. So yummy!
I've never made it with cucumber before, great idea. This is one of my favorites too!
all I can say is... YUM! I'd love to dip into that!
You gotta love fresh salsa!
Mmm, salsa fresca sounds awesome! What a healthy, fresh, and delightful treat. I love having such a flavorful and light snack. Divine!
Another one of my favorite things to have sitting around the house for quick easy dipping while watching TV.
