3 Cucumber Snacks
Tomato Cucumber Avocado Salad
INGREDIENTS
- Tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Avocados
- Red onion, sliced thinly & chopped
- Breanna’s red wine vinaigrette (or red wine vinegar & EVOO)
- Salt & pepper
METHOD
- Cut all vegetables into bite sized chunks & slice red onion thinly. Notice there are no amounts on the recipe. That’s because you can make this a lunch for one or a big party salad.
- Put all ingredients in a bowl and toss with vinaigrette until the vegetables are lightly coated and then season to your liking!
- It will stay good in your refrigerator for 2-3 days. Enjoy!
*There is no exact recipe but some estimated amounts for a party/family size are: 2 c cherry tomatoes or 2-3 garden tomatoes, 1 cucumber, ¼ red onion chopped, 2 avocados, ¼ c. or more vinaigrette or 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar & 3 Tbsp olive oil, & ½ tsp salt & ¼ tsp pepper. These are approximations but just season to taste!
Cucumber Slices With Laughing Cow Cheese
- Slice snacking cucumbers in half lengthwise or if you have regular cucumbers, cut into round slices.
- Then spread laughing cow cheese triangles on sliced cucumbers with a sprinkle of TJ’s seasonings (there are lots of different, fun options like Ranch, Green Goddess & Everything But the Bagel)
Marinated Cucumber & Onions
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- ½ sweet onion, sliced thinly (or shallots)
- ¾ c. rice, apple cider, white or white wine vinegar
- ¾ c. water
- 1 ½ tsp. sea salt or Real salt
- 1 ½ tsp. sugar or coconut sugar
- Freshly cracked pepper, if desired
METHOD
- Mix all the ingredients together in an airtight container big enough to hold all the liquid & the cucumbers & onions. Mix the liquid together well and then add the cucumbers & onion.
- Wait at least 15 minutes to eat cucumbers so they can soak up the marinade. They will stay good for about 2-3 days in the refrigerator, but the cucumbers will start to get slimy & too acidic to eat after that. You can keep reusing this marinate throughout the week with new cucumbers!
