Grape and Cucumber Salsa

You may have previously heard of Summer in a Cup. Tonight I present Summer on a Chip, aka Grape and Cucumber Salsa. This is one of the two recipes I usually make when I’m invited to a friend’s house for a Summer cookout. Since I was making my first batch of the season this afternoon, to bring to (you guessed it) a friend’s house for a Summer cookout, I thought I’d share a virtual batch of it here as well. Grab a chip and dig in!

Ingredients

1/3 1/4 50 50 1 teaspoon 1 tablespoon 2 tablespoons 1/4 teaspoon

1. Cut cucumber and onion into large chunks and process in the food processor for 5-10 seconds.

Notes

• It’s great with tortilla chips and is supposed to be good with grilled chicken, although we haven’t had it that way.
• This makes for a very mild salsa. I usually increase the jalepenos for more of a bite.
