Thai Cucumber Noodle Salad
- 4 large Cucumbers
- 1 Lime, juiced
- 3 tbsp Soy Butter, Sun Butter, or Tahini
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 clove Garlic
- 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil
- 1 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Chinese 5-Spice Powder
- 1 tsp Fresh Grated Ginger
- 1 Cilantro, chopped, to garnish (optional)
- 1 Tomato, sliced, to garnish (optional)
- Peel the cucumbers.
- Hold a cucumber over a bowl, and peel off thin strips using a vegetable peeler into the bowl.
- Stop when you get down to the seeds.
- Continue until all the cucumbers have been peeled.
- Put the peeled cucumbers into a colander over a bowl or sink, and mix in the salt.
- Let stand for at least 15 min to draw out excess water.
- Mix together the remaining ingredients to make the dressing.
- The dressing will be very think, but it will thin out once added to the cucumbers as they give off more water.
- Dress the cucumber noodles when they have finished draining.
