[recipe] Cucumber Salsa ~ vegan

[Guest guest]

i know i read a few digest posts that recommended eating

cucumbers for better kidney function, and also some people

were looking for diabetic recipes. This one fits on both

counts and it just screams yummy summer goodness.

2 medium tomatoes, chopped

1 tsp minced fresh parsley

2 tsp minced fresh cliantro

1/2 tsp dill weed

1/2 tsp salt

1 hour. Serve with chips or on the table as a condiment.

The tree which moves some to tears of joy

is in the eyes of others only a green thing

that stands in the way. Some see nature all

ridicule and deformity... and some scarce

see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man

of imagination, nature is imagination itself.

~ William Blake, poet, engraver, and painter (1757-1827)
