Let’s talk about our ingredients!

I love making salsa, guacamole, and all kinds of cold and hot appetizer dips. I also love experimenting with different ingredients, herbs, and spices to make them! For this delicious salsa, we start with combining tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, garlic, scallions, a jalapeno, and fresh cilantro. Yum!😊Although we love blender salsa and salsa with diced tomatoes and vegetables, I wanted this salsa to be chunky. So I chopped my tomatoes and cucumbers into bite sized pieces. I did seed my cucumbers, but you can skip this step if your cucumbers have small seeds, especially if using English cucumbers. For our seasoning mix, we combine chili powder, cumin, keto granulated sugar, salt, and pepper. I used fresh lime juice, but you substitute with a couple of tablespoons of bottled lime juice if you’d like. A drizzle of olive oil completes this salsa perfectly!

How can I control the heat level in this chunky keto tomato cucumber salsa?

As written, this is a pretty mild salsa. If you’d like it even milder, you can omit the jalapenos altogether. You have some great options for kicking up the heat level in this salsa if you want more heat. A good thing to know about jalapenos is that the majority of their heat is contained in the seeds and membranes. So if you’d like more heat, you can add some of these or can simply add more jalapenos. You can also dice them instead of mincing them. Another great way to add more heat is to use a hotter pepper such as a serrano. You can also add some cayenne powder or red pepper flakes to add more heat. Another super way to add heat is to add some of your favorite hot sauce to your salsa!

How can I serve this chunky keto tomato cucumber salsa?

You have some awesome low carb options for serving this salsa! For dippers, you can use raw veggies.
