Sweet and Sour Cucumber Noodles

Sweet and Sour Cucumber Noodles transform crisp English cucumber into tangy, refreshing spiralized noodles dressed in a blend of citrus, rice vinegar, honey, and garlic. Fresh herbs and sesame seeds enhance the flavor and texture, making it a light and vibrant salad or side. The dish can be customized with toppings and served at room temperature for best taste.

Ingredients

  • 3 TBSP lemon juice or lime juice, fresh
  • 3 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 TBSP rice vinegar
  • ¼ tsp salt plus extra, to taste
  • ⅛ tsp dill (fresh or dried)
  • ⅛ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp garlic fresh, minced
  • 1/4-1/2 cup cilantro plus extra to garnish, fresh, chopped
  • 2 TBSP honey
  • 1 English cucumber large
  • toasted sesame seeds for topping
  • chia seeds for topping
  • green onion for topping (optional, chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grab a giant English cucumber, a spiral slicer/veggie peeler, and go nuts! Spiralize the cucumber into "noodles" using the spiral slicer.
  2. Whisk everything but the cucumber and sesame seeds together and pour over noodles.
  3. Let them sit at room temperature to soak up all the yummy dressing or pop it in the fridge for later.
  4. Before serving, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and/or chia seeds and optional (but tasty!) garnish chopped green onion.
  5. Crushed peanuts or cashews are great as a topping here too! It's ridiculously easy to customize based on what you have available as well as what you prefer taste/topping-wise.
  6. Serve at room temperature for maximum flavor.
