TIPS

 Here are some tips for Spicy Cucumber-Lime Slices:

  • Use fresh lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice enhances the flavour much more than bottled alternatives.
  • Adjust the spice level: Add more or less chilli flakes based on your spice preference.
  • Chill before serving: For an extra refreshing experience, refrigerate for 10 minutes before eating.
  • Enhance the flavour: Add a sprinkle of Tajín seasoning for a more complex citrus-spice profile.
  • Try different cuts: Slice cucumbers into spears instead of rounds for a fun variation.

VARIATIONS

 

  • Herb Infusion: Add fresh chopped cilantro or mint for a refreshing twist.
  • Extra Zest: Add a little bit of lime zest for an intensified citrus flavour.
  • Garlic Punch: Sprinkle with a pinch of garlic powder for a savoury touch.
  • Crunch Factor: Toss with crushed roasted peanuts or sesame seeds for texture.
  • Sweet and Spicy: Drizzle with a touch of honey or agave for a balance of heat and sweetness.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

 

  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
  • Refrigeration: Keep chilled for maximum freshness, as cucumber tends to release water over time.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as cucumbers lose their crisp texture when frozen and thawed.
