Delicious Creamy Cucumber Salsa Recipe

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!

This Creamy Cucumber Salsa is soooooo good! It combines cucumber, tomato, red onion, garlic and avocado with a velvety sour cream mixture. Divine!

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!

This cucumber salsa is loaded with fresh ingredients:

Ingredients diced up: cucumber, tomato, red onion, garlic and avocado

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.
