How do I make cucumber noodles without a spiral slicer?

If you don't have a spiral slicer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create wide, long noodles from the two peeled cucumbers.

What gives the tahini sauce its spicy kick?

The spicy kick in the tahini sauce comes from 1-2 teaspoons of chili powder, which you can adjust to your preferred level of heat.

Can I prepare the cucumber noodles ahead of time?

What sweetener options can I use in the tahini sauce?

For the sauce, you can use 1/4 cup of agave or maple syrup, or two dates, depending on your preference for sweetness.

What are the main ingredients for the cucumber noodles?
