Cucumber Salsa


2 cups finely diced peeled cucumber
    1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
    1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    1 jalapeño (with or w/out seeds - your choice!), diced
    3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Optional mix-ins: chopped mint, chopped parsley, a little garlic, even a few blueberries!

Mix first fouringredients in a medium bowl. Add any optional mix-ins. Stir in lime juice and oil. Season to taste with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and more lime juice, if desired. This is refreshing straight out of the bowl, or with chips or tortillas.
