This delicious Creamy Cucumber Salsa is fabulous on chips, wonderful on tacos or salads, and a great addition to any weekend celebration. If you haven’t trued cucumber salsa, you need to start!

OK, I might be obsessed.

This creamy mixture has won me over and even made me a believer in all things cucumber.

I know, I know…. cucumber in salsa? Have you lost your mind, woman? Cucumbers are for salads and teeny tiny cucumber sandwiches, you say. Nevertheless, this new use will have you heading to the store to stock up on California ripe cucumbers for the upcoming holiday and every weekend thereafter!

This Creamy Cucumber Salsa recipe will make you a believer too.

Not only is it tasty, but it’s an easy, inexpensive dip for your weekend guests. Or in any event you’re like me, just grab some chips and have it for a weeknight dinner! You can easily change up what it’s served with. Try whole grain crackers, crostini, or even your toasted bread in the morning.

Seed-free is the key!

They key is to remove the seeds from the cucumber. A lot of water is retained in the center membrane, so removing them has a two-fold purpose. It’s particularly important to get rid of those pesky seeds and eliminate what could cause a watered down mixture.

This cucumber salsa is loaded with fresh ingredients:

The other ingredients are fresh tomatoes, avocado, red onion and garlic, all of which you should have no trouble finding right now in the Golden State.

However, the kicker, and the blend that sets this cucumber salsa over the top, is the velvety seasoned sour cream mixture that is incorporated into the salsa ingredients.  

Are you ready for this?

In addition to chips, of course!
