Impromptu Raw Cucumber Sweet & Spicy “Noodles”

Print

A refreshing salad like this one can go without strict proportions- raw dishes are amazing in that they allow the true flavor of whole foods to shine. The dressing/seasonings can be altered depending on your personal preference.

Further Food Commentary:

These noodles are packed full of vitamin A (good for vision & immunity), vitamin C (also an immune system helper as well as an antioxidant), monounsaturated fats (heart-healthy), and iron (brings oxygen to your cells). So many good reasons to dig in!

This recipe is low in sodium, making it an excellent choice for those trying to follow a low-sodium diet or for individuals with high blood pressure. It is also a chock-full of fiber and protein, making it a meal that will keep you full & satisfied.

Ingredients

1 english cucumber (spiralized*)

1 fresh chopped mango
1/4 cup red onion (diced)

2-3 scallions (chopped)
1/2 cup cilantro (chopped)
5-8 cherry tomatoes (halved)

*using a spiralizer allows for the gorgeous veggie noodles, but thinly sliced cucumber would work just as well!

  1. Toss everything together in the serving bowl and you’re good to go! I think next time i will prepare before lunch, & allow the flavors to meddle more & pop it in the fridge to chill.

    I like the flavor combo here of red onion and mango. I think I’ll add an avocado to this and give it a try! Any thoughts on protein that I could eat with this? I’m vegetarian.
