I have to admit that I have never had salsa with cucumber, bell pepper, and radishes in it. These ingredients intrigued me enough to want to try this salsa...they actually work together! I added extra garlic, cilantro, and cumin (personal preference), but other than that I made it exactly as written. Next time, I think I would reduce the cucumber a little, as it tended to overpower the other flavors. The flavors do blend and get better as it chills. Thank you for sharing this different, unique salsa.
