Here's a fantastic way to use cucumbers. You'll love the creamy and crunchy texture and super fresh flavors. —Charlene Skjerven, Hoolpe, North Dakota

Ingredients

2 cups finely chopped cucumber, peeled and seeded
1/2 cup finely chopped seeded tomato
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
4-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
Baked tortilla chip scoops

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. In another bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, lime juice, cumin and seasoned salt. Pour over cucumber mixture and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately with chips.

Test Kitchen Tips

Don't skip seeding the cucumber. Otherwise you may end up with watery salad.

To make seeding a breeze, halve cucumbers lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the pulpy centers.

This is a stellar topping for simple grilled salmon.

Peppers

You can roast your own peppers by broiling them close to the heat until blackened on all sides. Place in a bowl and cover tightly for 15 minutes or until skins are easy to remove. Seed peppers and slice as desired.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
