Ingredients

  • 3 TBSP fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 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 fresh minced garlic
  • 1/4-1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro plus extra to garnish
  • 2 TBSP honey
  • 1 large english cucumber
  • toasted sesame seeds and chia seeds for topping
  • chopped green onion/scallions for topping (optional)

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.
