Cucumber, Poblano & Orange Salsa

Prep Time 10

This salsa can be served with chips as an appetizer, but shines on fish, chicken or shrimip tacos. It is a delightful alternative to the usual condiment. The poblano does not contribute much heat, but has a pleasant piquant flavor which is an excellent match to the sweet oranges. Leave the cheese out for a dairy-free option.
