Notes
Notes on spiciness:
This recipe calls for 1 whole jalapeño. If you love hot spice and are feeling adventurous, leave some or all of the seeds in. If you can't handle spicy food, simply remove the seeds from the jalapeño. This will remove the majority of the spice factor while still leaving the jalapeño flavour behind. If you want to take the spice level up a notch, try using a serrano pepper or a habanero for some extra kick!
Tip* Always wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers. Do not touch your eyes or face while handling jalapeños.
Party Tip* Serve cucumber salsa with Doritos. Sweet chili heat Doritos are vegan!
