I like to serve cold cucumbers with Korean or Chinese food. There’s just something about the cool, crisp texture next to a spicy helping of General Tsao’s Chicken that seems right to me. This is one of my favorite ways to serve cucumber:

Nuts about Cucumber

In a small bowl, mix a teaspoon of raw honey, a teaspoon of sea salt, a tablespoon of organic creamy peanut butter, a tablespoon of organic soy sauce and a tablespoon of oil. I like macadamia nut oil in this because I find olive oil overwhelms the flavors. Stir it around well and drizzle over a large sliced organic English cucumber. English cucumbers are the longer ones sold in plastic wrap. They have fewer seeds and a slighly better flavor. That’s it. It’s simple, refreshing, tasty, and the enzymes in the soy sauce and honey will help you digest a serving of meat!
