Sizzling Salsa

I hate shopping on Amazon. Hate it. When I type leather messenger bag into the search engine I do not want to sift through 45, 956 result items. 20 pages of messenger bags? That seems a little over zealous Amazon.

You need to do a better job at reading my mind. If facebook can figure out that photography is a hobby of mine, that I exercise and take my nutrition seriously, that I am a science nerd and I dislike the color pink all on it's own and then supply me with random in your face advertisements on a routine basis, then you, Amazon, can at least narrow down the search results to a select few.

Does this irritate anyone else?

Change of subject. The end of the summer, means everything is in season. Yippee...except I can only eat cucumbers and tomatoes 18 days in a row before I start to dream of cucumbers and tomatoes. And I'm going to go ahead and make the executive decision and say that once you start dreaming of the vegetables you're eating, you're probably spending too much time with them.

The other day I decided to make cucumber salsa after I was inspired by a picture I saw on pinterest. I like salsa, a lot. I think it's pretty versatile. I used up anything I could find in my garden. This is what I had and some.

Tomato and Cucumber Salsa

1 c tomato, seeded and chopped

4 c cucumber, seeded and chopped

1/2 c red onion, chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, chopped

1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tblsp basil, chopped

1/4 c sour cream

1/4 c greek yogurt

3 tsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp salt

Prepare your vegetables. You really only want the 'meat' of your vegetables, so you need to seed them. You do not want watered down salsa right? Mix the first 7 ingredients together once prepared in a medium sized bowl. In a separate bowl mix the remaining ingredients (sour cream, yogurt, lemon juice and seasonings). Add the wet ingredients to your vegetables and mix. Serve with tortillas or whatever you want, but eat immediately. The longer it sits the more watery it gets.

This salsa has a little kick to it. So if you don't like spicy hot, don't use the jalapenos or chipotle in adobo sauce.

This would be amazing in fish tacos!

 Enjoy!
