Ingredients

  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • 3 to 4 green onions, finely chopped, or ½ cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped or ¼ cup red salsa
  • 2 lemons or limes, squeezed for juice (about ⅓ cup)

  • 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons garlic powder or 6 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
