Sunshot Salsa

This salsa capitalizes on a plentiful crop of cucumbers and tomatoes harvested in the summertime. Try using heirloom tomatoes like Cherokee Purple and Brandywine.

1 cup diced tomato (about  1 large tomato)
1 cup peeled, seeded, and diced cucumber (about 1 large cucumber)
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 large yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup diced red onion
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
1/2 units lime, juiced
2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
1/2 to 1 teaspoon green hot pepper sauce, depending on your love of spiciness
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and let rest for 1 hour to allow the flavors to combine. This salsa can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.
