Author: Rachel Carr
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, peeled
- 1 handful baby kale
- 1 handful whole cashews
For the sauce
- 1-2 teaspoon chili powder (depending on how spicy you like it)
- ½ cup tahini
- ¼ cup Tablespoons wheat free tamari or nama shoyu
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- ⅛ cup water
- ¼ cup agave, maple syrup, raw honey or 2 dates
Instructions
For the sauce:
- Blend everything together until smooth.
To assemble the noodles:
- Using a spiral slicer turn both of the cucumbers to make noodles. If you don't have a spiral slicer you can use a vegetable peeler to make wide long noodles.
- Toss the noodles with 2-4 Tablespoons of the finished sauce until thoroughly coated. Top with micro kale, whole cashews and a little more of the sauce.
- Serve immediately. Dressed cucumber will start to get watery quickly.

I’ve never spiralized cucumbers before — I figured they would just fall apart. This would be so lovely and fresh — what kind of cucumbers do you use?
Hi Laurie! We just used regular english cucumbers, big ones if you can get them.
Awesome post.
