I saw TY prepare these on TV and tried. Really good! I made a smaller portion with persian cucumbers and added shredded carrots. Will definitely make more.
This is a simple but surprisingly flavorful recipe!
Party favorite
So easy, healthy and delicious!
I really enjoyed it. Will make again.
Really good! I made it exactly like the recipe says.
Sooooo good!!! Make as is if your protein is spicy, if not then bump up the red pepper flakes. I used white champagne vinegar because that’s what I had. Really liked. I believe ACV would also be good if that’s the lightest you have.
So yummy! I will definitely make this again!!!
I made it since I love cucumbers and needed to use one up. I added a bit more vinegar since I thought it was somewhat bland. My son loved it.
Made this exactly like it says. It was delicious!
