Mexican Cucumber Snack

Discover a delightful twist on the classic cucumber snack with a Mexican flair. This quick and refreshing snack combines the crispiness of mini cucumbers with the tangy spice of lime and Tajin. Perfect for a quick bite or a light appetizer, these spiraled cucumbers will tantalize your taste buds with their unique texture and flavor.

Ingredients:

🥒 4 mini cucumbers
🍈 1 lime
🌶️ 2 tablespoons Tajin seasoning
🍉 Spicy watermelon dip (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Start by washing the mini cucumbers thoroughly and drying them with a clean towel.
2. Create the Spiral Cut:
   • Place a mini cucumber between two chopsticks lengthwise.
   • Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts along the cucumber, ensuring not to cut all the way through, thanks to the chopsticks. These diagonal cuts should be close together to create a spiral effect.
   • Turn the cucumber 180 degrees, and make straight cuts along the cucumber. This will help separate the sections to create a more distinct spiral form when stretched.
3. Season the Cucumbers:
   • Squeeze lime juice generously over the spiraled cucumbers, making sure each one is thoroughly coated.
   • Sprinkle Tajin seasoning liberally over the cucumbers for that essential tangy, spicy flavor.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
   • If desired, serve with a side of spicy watermelon dip for an extra kick of flavor. This can be an adventurous addition for those seeking a bit more heat!

Cooking Tips:
