    Here's a fantastic way to use cucumbers. You'll love the creamy and crunchy texture and super-fresh flavors. —Charlene Skjerven, Hoolpe, North Dakota


    Ingredients:
    2 cups finely chopped seeded peeled cucumber
    1/2 cup finely chopped seeded tomato
    1/4 cup chopped red onion
    2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
    1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
    4-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
    1 garlic clove, minced

    1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
    1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
    1-1/2 teaspoons lime juice
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
    Baked tortilla chip scoops

    Directions:
    1. In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients.

    In another bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, lime juice, cumin and seasoned salt. Pour over cucumber mixture and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately with chips.

    Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
