Luckily for me, the Chief Taster does not like cucumbers so I had this healthly recipe all to myself! The cucumber salad is sweet, tangy and refreshing with a small chilli kick. It made a devine light lunch but would also be great as a side dish.
I did try to use my spiralizer on the cucumbers as I had a vision of a plate full of cucumber noodles. Sadly, this did not work for me so I ended up grating them. Perhaps it was the type of cucumbers that I used as they were smaller than the long English ones.
You may not want to use all of the salad dressing as the cucumber has a high water content and you will end up with a bowl swimming in dressing. You could store the dressing in a jar and keep in the fridge for a couple of days if there is anything left over. Serve the salad immediately once made as it needs to be fresh and will not sit well.
