Garden fresh cucumbers and cilantro make a healthy and versatile relish
This is a great way to use up some of those cucumbers that are bursting from the garden and the farmers markets. Fresh cilantro and lime make this great for dipping tortilla chips into or as a topping for grilled fish and grilled chicken breasts. Toss it into cold pasta with a bit of seasoned rice vinegar and low fat sour cream for an easy, healthy salad.
