Ingredients
For the Cucumber Pinwheels
- 1 English Cucumber dark green, large
- ½ Avocados
- ¾ cup Tomatoes drained, packed in olive oil, sun-dried
For the Seasoning
- ¼ tsp Salt or to taste
- ½ tsp Chili Flakes
- 1 pinch Chaat Masala
Instructions
- Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, carefully slice the cucumber into thin, long ribbons.
- In a food processor or bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, avocado, salt, and chili flakes. Pulse or mash until a smooth paste forms.
- Stir in the chaat masala for a tangy, savory flavor. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Spread a thin layer of the avocado mixture down the center of each cucumber ribbon.
- Carefully roll up each cucumber ribbon to create a pinwheel shape. Secure with a toothpick. This helps the pinwheels hold their shape.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a crispier cucumber salad, slice the cucumbers thinly and salt them for about 10 minutes before adding the other ingredients. This helps draw out excess moisture.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices in your cucumber salad. Dill, mint, and parsley are classic choices, but you can also try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- To prevent your cucumber salad from becoming watery, don't overdress it. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more if needed.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover cucumber salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The salad may become slightly softer over time.
