Cooling Cucumber Pear Salsa

For me cucumbers are cooling, even when they are at room temperature.
When it is hooottt outside I feel they hydrate me with all their liquid:)
 Pears are a very different ingredient for salsa, but they sure
work well. They have a sweet and soft texture that is very welcoming
to the crisp crunch of cucumbers. I show you the salsa with rice cakes
and corn crackers, but it is sooooooo good with tortilla chips.
The salty and sweet combo is delicious:)


Cooling Cucumber Pear Salsa
serves 4 people

1 English  cucumber ( I took the seeds out of mine)
1 medium ripe pear
1/4 cup fresh parsley
2 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon of lime juice
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

Finally chop the cucumber( I removed my seeds), pear, and parsley and add to a bowl.
Pour fresh juices over the cucumber pear mixture and stir in salt.
Let stand in the refrigerator for 20 minutes covered.
I would double or triple the recipe because it is soooo good,
this won't last long at a party!!!!
