Here is how to make Ro-Tel Cucumber Salsa:
Ingredients:
28 oz. can Ro-Tel Tomatoes and Chilies
15 oz. can Black Beans
15 oz. can whole kernel corn
Red onion
3 medium cucumbers (2 if using English cucumbers)
Cilantro
1-2 Jalapeno peppers
Uncle Dans Original Ranch Dressing Mix (makes 32 oz. pkg)
3 Tbsp. White Vinegar
In a very large bowl, place a couple paper towels. Set aside. Open can of tomatoes and drain very well in a fine colander. Place drained tomatoes into paper towel lined bowl. Open beans, rinse and drain and add to bowl. Drain corn and add to bowl. Cut 1/2 onion in a fine dice, add to bowl. Peel cucumbers and slice in half, they need to be seeded by running a spoon down scraping out the seeded part and discard. Dice cucumbers finely and add to bowl. Seed jalapeno pepper(s) and dice very finely, add to bowl (start with one pepper and if you find you want it spicier after tasting, add more). Take 1/4 of a bunch of cilantro leaves and dice finely, add to bowl. Remove paper towel from bowl that has absorbed excess moisture and mix ingredients with a large mixing spoon. Take the Uncle Dan's Dry Ranch Mix and sprinkle about half the package over the ingredients along with the vinegar and mix well to combine.
You can eat as a salad or the way I prefer, to serve with Tostitos "Scoops" chips and really pile on the salsa on each chip. This is a "fresh" salsa and will only keep for just a few days in the refrigerator. People can't seem to get enough of this stuff at parties.
I think Uncle Dan's is a regional product but it can be ordered online if you do not have it in your area. It is totally different than other dry ranch dressing mixes (i.e. Hidden Valley). You can of course use another brand, but the flavor will be totally different.
Peel and seed cucumbers. If using English cucumbers, no need to seed. |
