Ingredients
- 6 mini cucumbers
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 4 (1 ML) droppers cbdMD Broad Spectrum CBD Oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon tamari
- 1 teaspoon coconut or brown sugar
- 2 large garlic cloves, , grated
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
Instructions
- Trim the ends off each cucumber. To make spiral cucumbers, put a cucumber on a flat cutting surface between two chopsticks. Slice ¼ inch cuts into the cucumber making sure not to slice all the way through (the chopsticks will keep you from doing so). Flip the cucumber over and make ¼ inch slight diagonal cuts. Repeat with remaining cucumbers. Alternately, you can simply slice the cucumbers into between ¼ and ½ inch thick slices. Place the cucumbers in a bowl. Sprinkle the salt all over the cucumbers and toss gently to make sure they are well coated. Let sit for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl combine CBD oil, vinegar, chili garlic sauce, ginger, sesame oil, tamari, coconut sugar, and garlic.
- Rinse the cucumbers with cool water and gently pat dry. Place on a serving plate and drizzle with the dressing. Refrigerate for 10 – 15 minutes. Top with sesame seeds and serve.
