SALAD INSTRUCTIONS
- Using a spiralizer, turn carrot into long strands, trimming with clean kitchen shears, if needed. Repeat with cucumber. Toss cucumber with salt; let stand for 10 minutes. Place cucumber on clean tea towel; roll up and twist to release excess moisture.

Chef’s Tip:
Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh chopped herbs, such as cilantro or mint, to the salad if desired. A spiralizer is also known as a spiral slicer or vegetable turning slicer. They’re available at kitchenware or department stores, or can be ordered online.
