Cucumber and Tajin Salad | Pepinos con Chile
This easy cucumber and Tajin salad aka Pepinos con Chile is a salty and spicy Mexican cucumber snack that can double up as a nice side dish too!
Ingredients
- 2 cucumbers
- 1 teaspoon Tajin seasoning
- ½ teaspoon lime juice
- 1 pinch Pink Himalayan salt
Instructions
- Cut up a cucumber in half lengthwise, and then slice it further into sticks. You can also cut cucumber slices if you want to.
- Sprinkle the cucumbers with Tajin seasoning and add a squeeze of lime juice. Mix it all well.
Notes
- To add some extra lemony flavor to this cucumber
Tajin salad, you can add some lime zest too! - While I would highly recommend keeping the peel on, you can also choose to peel the cucumbers if you want to.
- You can also cut the cucumber as per your personal preference. Sliced cucumbers are great if you want to keep things simple, but cucumber sticks, in my opinion, somehow look so much better.
- To add some more brightness and color to the salad, you can also drizzle some Mexican Chamoy sauce over it.
- Don’t forget to garnish with lime wedges right before you serve.
