Cucumber, Avocado, and Strawberry Salsa

Who says salsa has to have perfectly diced ingredients? Not those of us who are “Inspiralized”! It’s time to transform your salsas by using cucumber “noodles.” Bring this fresh snack to a potluck, barbecue or sporting event, where you know healthy foods will be scarce. Not only is it fun to eat, but it’s also a conversation starter. (If you don’t have a spiralizer, slice your cucumber in half lengthwise and then into half-moons.)

Cucumber, Avocado, and Strawberry Salsa

Ingredients

• 1 large seedless cucumber
• 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, chopped
• 1 medium avocado, diced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
• 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 medium lime, juiced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Slice the cucumber lengthwise halfway through. Spiralize using a linguine blade. Pat the cucumber noodles with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine the cucumber noodles, strawberries, avocado, cilantro, jalapeño and onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture, and toss to combine. Serve with chips or crudités.
