Cucumber- Mandarin Orange Salsa

I noticed a few too many cans of mandarin oranges on the shelf in the pantry.Think I can remember what I bought them for?  No.

Now what am I going to use them in? I knew I could come up with something.

This was really good!

Ingredients:

1 cucumber - peeled , chopped, seeded and cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1  11 ounce  can mandarin oranges-drained

1/4 cup red onion- finely chopped

1/2 of a red pepper- washed and cut up ( you could use more but I needed the other half for another recipe)

1/8 tsp red pepper flakes ( you can add more if you prefer)

Juice from 1/2 a lime

1/4 tsp. dried cilantro 

salt- to taste

Directions:

Combine the cucumber, mandarin oranges, red onion, red pepper, red pepper flakes, lime juice and cilantro in a medium size bowl.    Sprinkle with  salt to taste, then toss to combine.
