- 1 large cucumber
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar or vinegar of your choice
- 1/2 tsp chili powder adjust to taste
- 1 Tbsp tahini
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- Sprinkle of sesame seeds
Thinly slice the cucumber. If you prefer a milder texture, you can peel it first. (Leave the skin on for extra crunch and nutrients.)
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, chili powder, tahini, water, and olive oil. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
Drizzle the dressing over the cucumber slices. Toss gently until the slices are evenly coated.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and start snacking!
Pro Tips: If you have a bit of extra time, you can let the cucumbers and dressing mingle in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to marry beautifully for an even more delectable snack.
Alternatively, feel free to experiment with the flavors. Try a squeeze of fresh lime juice, a dash of garlic powder, or for a spicier cuc, swap out the chili powder for crushed red pepper flakes.
