Discover the art of Cucumber Salad Jars with this Deconstructed California Roll recipe, a healthy, gluten-free, low-carb meal option.
Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber
- 1 Red onion
- 1 Avocado
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Start by slicing the English cucumber thinly into rounds directly into a lidded storage container or glass jar. Aim for even slices—about ⅛ inch thick.
- Next, add the sliced red onion to the container. Toss the onion pieces gently over the cucumbers.
- Add mayonnaise, cream cheese, Sriracha, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the container. Stir these ingredients together gently with a fork.
- To enhance the creaminess, add the avocado last. Slice the avocado and gently layer the pieces on top of the salad.
- With all your ingredients in the container, securely close the lid and shake it vigorously to ensure all flavors are well-distributed throughout the salad.
- Finally, let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld and deepen even more.
Notes
- Slice Thinly: To keep your cucumber salad fresh and crunchy, slice the cucumbers as thin as possible, about ⅛ inch thick.
- Salting Technique: If you're not consuming your salad immediately, consider salting the cucumber slices to draw out excess moisture.
- Avoid Thick-skinned Varieties: Choose English or Persian cucumbers over thicker-skinned options.
- Add Protein: Incorporate proteins like grilled chicken or shrimp into your Cucumber Salad Jar.
- Flavor Adjustments: Tweak the dressing; using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise can enhance the salad's creaminess.
- Storage Matters: Keep the salad unshaken until ready to eat to maintain crispness.
