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.
