This crunchy cucumber salad was a hit at our weekend gathering. It's tangy, crunchy, a little spicy and topped with our Chili Lime cashews for the extra protein. Here's how to make it!
Ingredients for salad:
1 lb of Persian cucumbers, halved lengthwise
1.5 tbs sea salt
2 tbs (or more) of crumbled cotija cheese
1 tbs of chopped cilantro
A handful of Nuts+Nuts Chili Lime Cashews
Ingredients for dressing:
2 tbs of olive oil
1 jalapeno, seeded
1 garlic clove
2 tbs fresh lime juice
How to make:
-Combine all the ingredients for dressing into a food processor. Blend until smooth.
-Slice the halved cucumbers into 1/2 inch pieces.
-Toss cucumber slices with sea salt in a large bowl. Let sit for 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
-Drain the liquid, rinse the cucumbers with cold water, and pat dry with paper towel.
-Toss cucumbers with the dressing. Add crumbled cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, and a generous handful of Nuts+Nuts Chili Lime Cashews.
-Drizzle with chili crisp oil for an extra spicy kick.
