The easiest way to make cucumber noodles is to use a spiralizer. You can also use a mandolin to slice long strips of cucumber and cut it into slender pieces.
Caper berries are the fruit of a bush, while capers are the unopened buds of the caper bush. Both are generally pickled and bring a nice salty, piquant flavor to your meals.

Avocado Cucumber Noodles with Smoked Salmon
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers [spiralized]
- 2 large avocados
- 7 ounces fresh smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
- Start by using a spiralizer to cut the cucumbers into noodles. Then salt the noodles evenly (use about 1 teaspoon of salt) and set aside.
- Now, add the avocado, olive oil, dijon mustard, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper into your food processor and blitz until completely smooth.
- Now, once my avocado sauce is finished, I like to take the cucumber noodles and squeeze some of the water out. This is not strictly necessary, but it does help the avocado sauce stick better to the cucumber noodles.
- Toss the cucumber noodles in the avocado sauce until all the noodles are evenly coated. Top with smoked salmon and black sesame seeds
Notes
- You can also add cream cheese, thinly sliced onion, black sesame seeds or caper berriesÂ

Great! Quick to prepare when you don’t feel like cooking. Thanks for sharing!
I would like to try this, but a couple of things, I saw this on a healthy, no-cook dinner list, but it doesn’t explain where/how to get the smoked salmon. Is that canned? Frozen? And are the noodles soft?
Hi Lisa! We used fresh smoked salmon and the noodles are just raw spiraled cucumber, so they are slightly crunchy 🙂
Don’t make. My wife almost divorced me for this!
That made me laugh! Well, I can’t please everyone. I’m sorry it wasn’t to your liking.
