Categories     New Year's Eve     Hors D'Oeuvre     Vegetable     Vegetarian     Lime     Cucumber     Radish     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Jícama     Orange     Chile Pepper     Dairy Free     Vegan     Cocktail Party     Christmas     Christmas Eve     snack

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lime
2 tablespoons flaky sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
2 oranges, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds, rounds halved
5 mini seedless cucumbers, cut into 1/2-inch spears
1 bunch of radishes (preferably breakfast), halved
1 large jicama, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, half of slices cut into half moons, half moons cut into triangles

Steps:

  • Finely grate lime zest into a small bowl. Stir in salt and chile powder. Cut lime into wedges.
  • Arrange crudités on a platter. Squeeze lime juice over, then sprinkle with some spiced salt mixture. Serve remaining spiced salt mixture alongside.

Tips:

  • Choose small, firm cucumbers for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers thinly and evenly. This will help them absorb the marinade more evenly.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin cucumber slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the cucumbers in the jar. They need room to breathe in order to absorb the marinade.
  • Let the cucumbers marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give them time to absorb all the delicious flavors.
  • Serve the cucumbers chilled for a refreshing snack or side dish.

Conclusion:

Chile-lime cucumbers are a quick and easy snack or side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and refreshing, with a slightly spicy and tangy flavor. The cucumbers are marinated in a mixture of chili peppers, lime juice, and cilantro, which gives them a unique and delicious flavor.
