How to Make Hot Sweet No Tomato Salsa

  1. Pare and halve 1 large cucumber. Remove seeds and discard. Finely chop the cucumber.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped cucumber with 1/2 cup finely chopped pimentos, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped green onion, 1 tablespoon lime zest, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste).
  3. Gently stir in 1 cup diced fresh papaya (or mango; cantaloupe works in a pinch).
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Chilling for longer will enhance the taste.
  5. Serve chilled as a dip with your favorite tortilla chips or crackers. It's also delicious as a topping for grilled fish, chicken, or tacos!
