This makes a good salsa for diabetics as it has only about half as many carbs as traditional salsas. There is no sugar as some commercial salsas have.
2 med cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and chopped
2 med tomatoes or enough Roma tomatoes to make 1 1/2 cups chopped
3 to 4 (depending on how much heat you like) jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1/2 of a medium red (purple) onion (do not substitute different onions
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp fresh parsley, chopped fine
2 tsp fresh cilantro, chopped fine
1/2 tsp salt (If you have a salt problem, use 1/4 tsp but try not to eliminate altogether)
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
Yield: Approximately 4 1/2 cups
Serve with your favorite low carb chips or with lean meats.
Serving size: 1/4 cup = 10 calories, 2 carbs, 0 protein, 0 fat, 67 mg sodium
This is my version of a recipe I tried from low carb yum
