Enjoy
this refreshing and zingy healthy snack anytime. I ate it as a light
dinner the first time I created it. The warmth of the jalepeño spice
and the cool, refreshing cucumber are a wonderful combination.INGREDIENTS
1 pound cucumber: peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 green onion (scallion) stalk, chopped
¼ cup fresh parsley
1 jalepeño pepper, cut in half (also seeded if you prefer less spice)
1 cup fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
juice from ½ of a lemon
juice from ½ of a lime
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
1 ½ - 2 teaspoons sea salt
organic corn tortilla chips
INSTRUCTIONS
Put the first seven ingredients into a food processor or blender and blend together. Pour that mixture into a bowl; add the sour cream, lemon juice, lime juice, cumin, and sea salt and mix well. Serve immediately with chips. Refrigerate left overs and eat within 5 days.
I prefer to use as many organic, pesticide free ingredients that I can get my hands on, especially the corn tortillas. Not only is conventionally grown corn contaminated with toxic pesticides, most of it is also genetically modified.
