CUCUMBER TOMATO SALSA

The following side dish is an excellent one for keeping your meal 80% alkalizing foods. Every ingredient is alkalizing and energizing.

1 English Cucumber
1 or 2 Roma Tomatoes
Some Green or Yellow Bell Pepper
1/2 Jalapeno Pepper, seeded and minced (or use a little chopped in a jar)
Half of a small Onion, chopped
1 small Garlic Clove, or the amount you like
Half of a Lime, juiced (If no lime, use Lemon)
Hand full Fresh Parsley, chopped
Hand full Fresh Cilantro, chopped
1/4 tsp dried Dill Weed
Sprinkle with Sea Salt

The Jalapeno Pepper doesn't make it too hot, but gives it a kick. You can drizzle Olive Oil, Avocado Oil over it, but I think it is good without the oil. The Lime juice and the Sea Salt brings out the flavor.

This is good served with Hummus on warmed Pita Bread or Arnolds Multi-grain Mini bun halfs.
