Asian Cucumber salad

Ingredients:

Sauce:


  • 3 tbsp filtered water
  • 2 tbsp tahini (original recipe calls for sesame seed oil, but you can sub tahini if you are avoiding oil)
  • 2 dates, pitted
  • 1 medium garlic clove, peeled
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 inch fresh ginger root, peeled
  • 2 tsp coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes or
  • ¼ tsp cayenne for a kick



Salad:


  • 2 large cucumbers spiralized
  • 1 large carrot spiralized
  • Optional- thinly shaved cabbage & red peppers
  • (Optional - ¼ cup loosely packed cilantro or mint leaves) I like to add organic peas on top!


Directions: Blend all ingredients together. Use a spiralizer and place all veggie noodles in bowl. Top with shaved peppers, peas, cabbage and any other desired veggies. Pour sauce over veggies and toss. Top with a tough of toasted sesame seeds or everything. Seasoning. Do not put sauce over veggie noodles until you are ready to consume, they will get soggy!
