With the zucchinis growing faster than I can keep up, I have been thinking of imaginative ways to use them up. This dish did a great job, this salsa is tangy and delicious and the whole recipe is so simple and quick to pull together, which is a blessing when you want to spend your time outside, not inside!
Plus me using the zucchini, herbs, onion, tomato and pepper straight from my garden, made this a real garden to plate dish! Fresh, Fresh, Fresh! Yum, Yum, Yum!
- 2 medium zucchini, cut into large chunks
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro plus leaves for garnish
- 1/3 cup chopped white onion
- 5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 1/2 tablespoons chopped seeded jalapeño chiles
- 1 1/4 teaspoons finely grated lime peel
- 2 1/4 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, divided
- 1-2 large tomatoes, chopped
