Preparation

Step 1

Peel the hothouse cucumbers partially so there are still strips of skin remaining unpeeled
Slice the cucumbers in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon
Using a mandoline or any other julienne tool, julienne both cucumbers and place the "noodles" in a bowl
I cut my cucumbers in half so they weren't as long and it was easier to use the mandoline
In a bowl, whisk together the rest of the ingredients and pour over the cucumber noodles to taste
Serve immediately
*If you have a spiralizer, you can try to use it for the noodles, but I tried mine and didn't have nearly as much success as I did with my mandolin.*
