Fresh, crunchy, spicy, and oh-so-satisfying — this cucumber salad is your new go-to for a light lunch or punchy side dish!
Serves 2 | Ready in 10 mins
🛒 You’ll Need:
- 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced into strips
- 2 tbsp crushed almonds (for the crunch!)
- 2 tbsp linseed (hello, fibre!) — or swap with sesame seeds if you’re not into the slippery vibe
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ tbsp chilli flakes (adjust the heat to your mood)
- A pinch of salt
🔥 Let’s Get Tossing:
- Throw your cucumber strips into a salad bowl.
- Add crushed almonds and linseed (or sesame seeds if you’re feeling fancy).
- In a small heat-safe bowl, mix garlic, chilli flakes, salt, lemon juice, and honey.
- Heat olive oil in a tiny saucepan — once it’s hot (but not smoking!), pour it over the spicy mix.
- Pour this sizzling goodness over your cucumber and give it a good toss.
- Serve immediately and enjoy solo or as a zingy side!
💡 Pro Tip: Tastes even better after chilling for 10 minutes — if you can wait that long!
Enjoy when you try it!
