Ingredients for Spiralized Cucumber Salad

Ingredient Notes:

Tahini: Tahini is such a tasty ingredient to have on hand. It can be mixed into dressings, drizzled on just about everything, and mixed into dips like hummus. Tahini is highly nutritious, rich in antioxidants, and that’s only a few of its many benefits.

White Miso: Miso contains lots of healthy vitamins and minerals like vitamin K, manganese, zinc, protein, and calcium. It’s a great ingredient to add to soups, stews, or dressings.

How to make spiralized cucumber salad:

Use a spiralizer to spiralize the cucumbers. Set in a strainer over a bowl to allow some of the water from the cucumber to drip out.
Set aside the cucumber and make the dressing by whisking together or shaking in a jar the tahini, white miso, rice wine vinegar, peanut butter, garlic, lime juice, maple syrup, salt and pepper. The dressing will be thick but that’s ok because it will loosen up when mixed with the cucumber.
Toss the spiralized cucumber with the dressing, chopped cilantro, chopped green onions and white sesame seeds.
