id=\"why-do-people-put-salt-on-cucumbers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do people put salt on cucumbers?<\/h2>\n<p>The secret to a good salsa is to remove excess water from the vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>This step helps keep the veggies crisp and flavorful and prevents the salsa from sitting in a big pool of juice and getting soggy.<\/p>\n<p>To draw out the excess liquid, simply season the cucumbers and tomatoes with salt and place them in a colander or strainer to drain.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you should allow salted cucumbers and tomatoes to sit for 30 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re impatient like me, 15 minutes will release most of the moisture, but you\u2019ll still end up with a bit of juice at the bottom of your salsa bowl.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"should-i-rinse-cucumbers-after-salting-them\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I rinse cucumbers after salting them?<\/h2>\n<p>No, you don\u2019t need to rinse cucumbers after salting them for recipes that you would normally season with salt later.<\/p>\n<p>For this cucumber salsa recipe, you simply add the remaining ingredients to the bowl without rinsing the cucumbers.<\/p>\n<figure

ingredients for this cucumber salsa. It\u2019s best served in the summer when tomatoes and cucumbers are at their peak (and cheapest). Even better if you can pick them right out of your garden!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cucumbers: <\/strong>I use regular field cucumbers for most things. I peel them first because the skin can be a little bitter. You can use English or Persian cucumbers if you prefer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tomatoes: <\/strong>Roma or pear tomatoes have the most flesh with the least amount of water and are ideal for salsas and pico de gallo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Onion: <\/strong>I use regular white onion although you can substitute red onion. If your onion is \u201cspicy\u201d, you can soak the diced onion in ice water for 15 minutes to remove some of the bite.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cilantro: <\/strong>Finely chopped fresh cilantro adds fresh, herby flavor. I like a lot of cilantro but you can leave it out if you\u2019re a cilantro-hater.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hot pepper: <\/strong>You can make this salsa as spicy or mild as you like. Add one or two jalape\u00f1o or serrano peppers, depending on your spice tolerance. Removing the seeds and ribs will temper the spice a bit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lime: <\/strong>Fresh-squeezed lime juice is best. One juicy lime should give you two tablespoons of lime juice. I use two limes for this recipe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Salt: <\/strong>Sprinkle the veggies with sea salt to help remove excess water as well as season the salsa.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" alt=\"A glass bowl with portions of diced cucumber, tomato, onion and a pile of chopped cilantro on top.\" class=\"wp-image-5047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2-180x270.jpg 180w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2.jpg\" alt=\"A glass bowl with portions of diced cucumber, tomato, onion and a pile of chopped cilantro on top.\" class=\"wp-image-5047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-2-180x270.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-make-salsa-with-cucumber\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make salsa with cucumber<\/h2>\n<p>Cucumber salsa is super easy to make and a delicious, crispy alternative to tomato salsa or pico de gallo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prep: <\/strong>Start by prepping the cucumber and tomato.<\/p>\n<p>Peel the cucumbers if using field cucumbers as the skin can be a bit bitter.

Roma or pear tomatoes have more flesh but you can substitute any fleshy heirloom variety or cherry tomatoes. Salad tomatoes have a lot of water and are more bland so I don\u2019t recommend them in salsa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alternative ingredients:<\/strong> Try adding avocado for some creaminess, mango or watermelon for a touch of sweetness. Corn is also a popular salsa ingredient.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Herbs: <\/strong>If you don\u2019t like cilantro you can leave it out or substitute parsley or oregano.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spice:<\/strong> You can make this salsa as spicy or mild as you like by adjusting the about of hot pepper you add and by removing the seeds and ribs.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" alt=\"Pouring lime juice over the mixed cucumber salsa in a glass bowl. \" class=\"wp-image-5048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-180x270.jpg 180w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image.jpg\" alt=\"Pouring lime juice over the mixed cucumber salsa in a glass bowl. \" class=\"wp-image-5048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cucumber-salsa-image-180x270.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1747396485306\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What kind of cucumber for cucumber salsa?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You can use any kind of cucumber for cucumber salsa.
