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!
