Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 2 Roma tomatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon tajin seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup diced purple onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Optional Ingredients

  • corn kernels
  • cucumbers
  • hot sauce

Instructions

  • Finely dice the zucchini, carrots, tomatoes, and cilantro. Add to a mixing bowl.
  • Add lime juice, olive oil, tajin, and salt. Stir. Taste test and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Zucchini salsa is best served immediately because the salsa will get soft as it sits.

Notes

It's easy to customize this recipe to your liking. 
  • Omit onions or cilantro
  • For spicy heat add hot sauce or diced jalapenos
  • Add other veggies; bell peppers, corn, etc.
Tajin is a Mexican spice typically found in the Mexican aisle at the grocery store. If you don't have it use 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder. It's not exactly the same, but it still be delicious!
