Equipment

  • 1 Vegetable spiralizer

Ingredients

  • 4 large firm seedless cucumbers peeled
  • ½ c. fresh pesto
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • 1.Prepare fresh basil pesto per instructions or use pre-made pesto in a jar.
  • 2.Using a spiralizer, cut cucumbers into thick, long noodles. (If using the Paderno Tri- Blade Vegetable Spiral Slicer, use the medium “chipper” blade to create slightly thicker strands).
  • 3.Cut the noodles with kitchen scissors once they reach 10-12” long. Place cut noodles on paper or clean kitchen towels and gently blot to absorb excess moisture. OR, alternately, place in a strainer over a bowl to drain excess liquid, which can then be added to water for refreshing cucumber water.
  • 4.Place cucumber noodles in a medium, bowl and top with fresh pesto. Toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve immediately.
