💭 faq
how to make cucumber noodles?
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.
what's the difference between caper berries and capers?
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.

Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers [spiralized]
- 2 large avocados
- 7oz/200g smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoon lime juice [about ½ a lime]
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- to taste salt and pepper
- ½ onion optional [thinly sliced]
- ½ cup caper berries optional
- 4 tablespoon cream cheese optional

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 the noodles with your choice of topping. In this case - smoked salmon, cream cheese, thinly sliced onion, caper berries and black sesame seeds.

Lisa says
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?
Roche Woodworth says
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!
