Ingredients

  • 2 cucumber Persian
  • ½ red onion
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 3-4 tablespoon cream cheese preferably with herbs
  • 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅓ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt coarse
  • 3-4 tablespoon cheddar cheese sharp
  • ¼ teaspoon soy sauce regular or light (optional)
  • sesame seeds black & white (for garnish)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice the cucumber without peeling it with a mandolin or by a sharp knife on a cutting board. Make ½ cm (¼”) thick slices.
  2. Add the sliced cucumbers to a mixing bowl or a jar.
  3. Dice the red onions and jalapenos and add them on top of the cucumbers.
  4. Add the cream cheese, greek yogurt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, flaky sea salt, and cheddar cheese. Top these with a splash of soya sauce.
  5. Give everything a good toss in the bowl, or if you’re using a jar, pop on the lid and shake it up until the creamy dressing coats everything evenly.
  6. Transfer the salad onto a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy cold!

Notes

  • Instead of using a jar, opt for a mixing bowl for this salad. A jar doesn’t distribute the cream cheese evenly, and shaking it too much can mush the cucumbers.
  • Chill the salad for 15-20 minutes before serving so that the cucumbers absorb the maximum flavour.
