Cool and crunchy with just a hint of heat, this Easy Cucumber Salsa will be a new favorite addition to your summer menu! Made with just a few basic ingredients, it’s a cinch to throw together last minute and perfect for topping grilled fish, chicken, and tacos. My garden cucumbers are just getting going, but you can bet I will be making this salsa on repeat once the garden is overflowing with fresh cucumbers!

I especially love the freshness this Cucumber Salsa brings to rich and spicy dishes like salmon and blackened chicken. It’s also great as an appetizer served with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled chicken (try one of my healthy chicken marinades!), or added to these spicy fish tacos.

I prefer English cucumbers but any type of cucumber will work in this recipe. Just be sure to peel the cucumber and scoop out the seeds and middle, leaving only the firm crunchy portion for the salsa.

How long does Cucumber Salsa keep?

Stored covered in the refrigerator, it will keep for 2-3 days.

Can I make cucumber salsa without tomatoes?

Sure! Feel free to leave them and replace with more cucumbers. Chopped bell peppers are also delicious added to this salsa recipe and can be swapped for the tomatoes.
