Just a few simple ingredients and you have a spicy, tangy, fresh cucumber salad perfect to pair with a meal or to have as a snack.

Ingredients

2 small Japanese or Lebanese cucumbers, washed

1 tsp of Everiday Coconut Aminos

1 to 2 tsp of Everiday Garlic Chili Oil

1 tsp sesame oil

Salt to taste

2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Optional - roasted sesame seeds to garnish

Instructions

1

DONE!

Lay your cucumber on a cutting board, and trim the edges. Then with the flat of your knife, smash the cucumber a few times so that you crush it. Once crushed, chop the cucumber into 1-inch pieces. Add to a bowl, and repeat with your 2nd cucumber. (Crushing the cucumber give more surface space and texture to absorb all the flavor from the seasoning.)

2

DONE!

Add all the rest of your ingredients and toss. Taste and adjust seasoning according to taste.

3

DONE!

Top with roasted sesame seeds and enjoy immediately.
