- 3 TBSP fresh lemon or lime juice
- 3 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
- 2 TBSP rice vinegar
- ¼ tsp salt plus extra, to taste
- ⅛ tsp dill (fresh or dried)
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder

- 2 TBSP honey
- 1 large English cucumber

Instructions
- Grab a giant English cucumber, spiral slicer (spiralizer) or veggie peeler, and go nuts! Spiralize or peel the cucumber into noodles. Set aside.
- In a large salad bowl, whisk everything but the cucumber and sesame seeds together. Add the cucumber noodles and mix well.
- Allow the cucumber noodles to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soak up all the yummy dressing or pop it in the fridge for later.
- Before serving, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and/or chia seeds and optional (but tasty!) garnish chopped green onion.
- Crushed peanuts or cashews are great as a topping here too! It's ridiculously easy to customize based on what you have available as well as what you prefer taste/topping-wise.
- Serve at room temperature for maximum flavor.
