The Other Side of Mexican Cooking
Discovering a Different Flavor of Mexican Produce
Even though our local farmer's markets might not yet feature fresh bell peppers, summer squash, and cucumbers, these vibrant, crisp vegetables are readily available at the supermarket. More often than not, they owe their origin to Mexico.
Many people are unaware that Mexico exports a wide variety of produce beyond just the usual chiles, avocados, tomatoes, and limes typically associated with Mexican cuisine. Besides diverse colorful bell peppers and various types of summer squash, Mexico provides different cucumber varieties, all thriving under its warm sunshine.
For over a century, Mexico has been a trusted source of high-quality produce for the U.S., ensuring that everything crossing the border meets stringent quality and safety standards. Not only are these veggies fresh and safe, but they also pack a nutritional punch. Red, yellow, and orange bell peppers are rich in beta-carotene and vitamin C, while standard-sized cucumbers have just 39 calories each. Moreover, yellow squash and zucchini are excellent sources of magnesium.
This month, consider adding these vegetables to salads, sandwiches, or stir-fries. Get creative and use summer squash and red bell peppers in your salsa, as in the recipe below.
Zucchini & Red Pepper Salsa
- 2 pounds small to medium zucchini
- 2 medium red bell peppers, seeded and julienned
- 1/2 cup peeled, seeded, diced cucumber
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 2 serrano chiles, seeded and minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Trim and dice the zucchini, then combine in a bowl with red pepper, cucumber, red onion, and chiles. Dress with olive oil, lime juice, and salt, mixing well. Gently stir in the cilantro and serve with yellow or blue tortilla chips, jicama slices, or thin slices of French bread. Serves 8.
