Ingredients

Scale

2 small English cucumbers, cleaned, halved and sliced (about 3 cups)

1/4 large red onion, sliced (about 1/4 cup)

1/4 cup cilantro leaves, diced

1 1/2 tablespoon neutral oil

1 tablespoon Tajin seasoning (plus more, for topping)

1/2 cup corn nuts, crushed


Instructions

  1. Clean, dry and slice your cucumbers into half rounds. Slice your onion very thin. Dice your cilantro leaves.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine cucumbers, onion, cilantro and 1 1/2 tablespoons of neutral oil. Toss to combine. Add 2 teaspoons of Tajin seasoning. Toss again. Taste and add the final teaspoon of Tajin, if needed. 
  3. Keep out 1-2 tablespoons of crispy corn nuts, then roughly chop or crush the remaining in a baggie. Add to the cucumber salad and toss. Serve immediately, topped with cilantro leaves, a sprinkle of whole corn nuts and a final dash of Tajin. 

Notes

If you don't have Tajin, substitute ancho chili powder and fresh lime juice, then serve with a lime wedge.
