- Now in another bowl, mix together cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, jalapeno, cilantro and garlic. Once everything is in the bowl pour over the salsa sauce that you set aside earlier. Gently toss everything to ensure all the ingredients are well coated.
- Place it in the refrigerator for an hour so that all the flavors can blend harmoniously.
