Summer is nearly over and my kids go back to school next week. I had to get one last post in about summer flavors. I'm growing a nice crop of tomatoes and cucumbers (along with several other veggies) and I love combining them in a fresh and bright salsa. This is perfect over grilled chicken and uses up our garden bounty in a most delicious way.

Grilled Chicken with Tomato and Cucumber Salsa

Hands-On Time: 15 minutes
Ready In: 30 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Heat grill over medium flame, or coals.
2. While grill heats, toss together tomato, cucumber, onion, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
