How to Prepare Cucumber Noodles With Spicy Tahini Sauce [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Blend sauce ingredients together until smooth.
- Using a spiral slicer, turn both of the cucumbers to make noodles. If you don't have a spiral slicer, you can use a vegetable peeler to make wide long noodles.
- Toss the noodles with 2-4 tablespoons of the finished sauce until thoroughly coated. Top with baby kale, whole cashews, and a little more of the sauce.
- Serve immediately. Dressed cucumber will start to get watery quickly.
