Cucumber Ribbons with Tajin
The tang of Tajin, which is a chili and lime salt mix brings out the sweetness in cucumber, making for a refreshing salad that cuts through a rich meal. Raw zucchini would make another nice variation of this salad. Top with a bit of chopped peanuts or other nut for a textural contrast.
Servings: 4
Calories: 149kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber sliced as thin as possible, I like to use a mandolin for this but a sharp knife will work as well
- 1 avocado sliced thin, optional
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- Tajin seasoning to taste (you can make your own – see notes)
- 2 tablespoons peanuts chopped fine, optional, or toasted pumpkin seeds or almonds
- 1 calendula petals removed, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Toss the cucumber slices and avocado, if using with the oil and lemon juice. Arrange on a plate and season with Tajin. Adjust with more salt, if desired. Top with chopped nuts, if using and a sprinkling of petals.
Notes
To make your own Tajin Seasoning blend, combine:
• 2 tablespoons crystalized lime
• 2 tablespoons chipotle powder
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon monk fruit, powdered, optional
