I’m only calling this salad ’cause it’s cold. And it has cucumbers in it.
Inspired by The Civilized Caveman’s recipe for Lemon Cucumber Noodles with Cumin, I took his recipe and ran with it. Bulking it up a li’l with chicken. I used my second favourite kitchen took (at the moment) which is my Lurch Spirali. Cucumber noodles! Neat!!
This was perfect for a hot summer day. Which today is. The only thing that would have been better is if the chicken had already been cooked, cause I had to put the stove on for a bit earlier. Yeach.
Chicken and cucumber noodle salad
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Make your noodles. Or slice the cucumber. Or however you're doing this thing. Stick 'em in a bowl with the lemon juice, sesame oil, sesame seeds, cumin and sea salt.
Best Spiralizer Tip Ever: Let your noodles sit in a colander. Mix with a generous pinch or three of salt. Put kitchen towel on the top and stick a heavy item (can or three) on it and let it sit for a while. Truly amazing how much liquid comes out! I do this for cucumber and courgette. -
Stick the bowl in the fridge for a while to let the flavours 'develop'. (Or, like me, while you cook the chicken.)
-
Cook the chicken. Let it cool and stick that in the fridge, too.
-
When you're ready to eat, served the noodles on a plate/bowl and pile the cooked chicken on top. Then throw a bit of the liquid on the top.
