Ingredients

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 onion, diced

3 Roma tomatoes, diced

1 jalapeño pepper (optional)

4 cloves garlic, minced OR 4 teaspoons garlic powder

1/2 cup fresh cilantro OR parsley, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup lemon OR lime juice

Instructions

Before you begin, wash your hands, surfaces, utensils, and produce.
If using a jalapeño, put on disposable gloves and remove the pepper seeds. Dice small. If you don't have gloves, wash your hands with soap and water after handling the jalapeño.
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving so flavors can blend.

Tips

Try adding other in-season vegetables to this dish to compliment the tomato and onion, such as cucumber, yellow squash, green pepper, broccoli, or corn.
For a sweeter version of this recipe, use fruit such as blueberries, oranges, apples, and peaches. Remove the garlic to compliment the less savory flavor.
