SWEET AND SOUR CUCUMBER SLICES



Sweet and Sour Cucumber Slices image

I love these cucumbers. This recipe comes from 'A Spoonful of Ginger' by Nina Simonds who says that cucumbers eaten during the summer dissipate heat. They also are considered to have diuretic and laxative effects. I can't really attest to all that but I can tell you that these slices are really tasty.

HCG Sweet and Spicy Cucumber Slices image

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 piece medium size cucumber
1 package stevia
1 teaspoon Simple Girl Sweet & Hot Seasoning

Steps:

  • Start this recipe by washing your cucumber. This is an important step, especially if you do not by organic cucumbers. If the cucumber still has a waxy coating after washing, you may want to peel the cucumber before making the recipe. Find top-rated HCG diet spices that are sweetened with stevia... perfect for all phases of the HCG diet! Buy HCG Spices Now! Next, cut the cucumber into thin slices (about 1/8 inch thickness) and lay them out flat on a large plate. Then, gently shake the HCG Safe Sweet & Hot Seasoning from evenly over the cucumber slices, moving right to left trying to keep the amount of spice over the cucumbers even. If you are not a big fan of spicy food limit or lessen the amount of this spice used...remember you can always add more at the end to turn-up-the-heat, but you can't take it away. Then, open the packet(s) of powdered stevia and do the exact same process, sprinkling evenly over the cucumbers. Now, they're ready to eat. Some people like to let the cucumbers chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving, it lets the seasoning combine into the cucumber slices and ensure the recipe is cold again - See more at: http://www.diyhcg.com/hcg-phase-2-recipes-sweet-and-spicy-cucumber-slices/#sthash.RAUogzWL.dpuf

Tips:

  • Use a mandoline slicer or sharp knife to cut the cucumbers into thin, even slices. This will help them cook evenly.

  • In a large bowl, combine sliced cucumbers, sliced red onion and bell pepper, and sea salt. Toss to coat. Let the mixture rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, stevia, mustard, poppy seeds, cayenne, and crushed red pepper flakes.

  • Drain the cucumber mixture in a colander, then pat dry with paper towels.
