We love to make this homemade salsa recipe because we can’t get enough cucumbers and tomatoes. They are so fresh and are the perfect light food to go with all of our barbecue dinners.
You’ll be able to wow your friends and family when they take their first bite of this incredible salsa. It’s tangy, but sweet from the tomatoes.
🥒 Ingredients
The ingredients in this cucumber salsa are so easy. You only need 7 and probably have them already. Let’s take a look:
- Large Cucumbers
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Fresh Grape or Cherry Tomatoes
- Rotel Tomatoes With Green Chiles
- Dry Ranch Dressing Packet
- Minced Garlic
- Cilantro
- Salt & Pepper

🧄 Directions
You can quickly put this homemade salsa by dicing and chopping a few ingredients. Then letting it sit to soak up the flavors. It’s one of the best homemade salsa recipes I have ever made or even tried for that matter. Let’s get started:
First Step: Chop up cucumbers. It’s optional to remove seeds or leave them alone. We leave them in the salsa.
Second Step: Chop tomatoes. Add tomatoes and cucumbers in a bowl. Sprinkle in the apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, ranch dressing, and Rotel tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Use a wooden spoon to stir.
Third Step: Place the salsa in the fridge for 1-2 hours to let the juices marry together all the way. Serve cold and enjoy!

🥄 Storage
Keep the homemade salsa recipe in a tightly covered container for up to five days. It may last longer than that, but you will need to check it over to make sure it doesn’t smell funny or have any mold. If it’s questionable throw it out.
🥣 Variations
There are many variations you can make to this cucumber salsa recipe. Here are a few of the ideas we have tried and loved over the years.
- Red Onions – Chop up some red onions and sprinkle them into the salsa. I like to dice them up pretty small, but they add a gorgeous color.
- Bell Peppers – Any variety of bell pepper would be fantastic. Slice them or dice them and add them to the salsa. It will give you some crunch in every bite.
- Lemon Juice – Add the juice from half of a lemon to give it even more tanginess. So good!
- Lime Juice – Juice a lime and drizzle it on top, then give the homemade salsa a stir.
