This is a simple, delicious refreshing salad which is a perfect accompanient to Asian cooked meats and fish. It is also suitable for those following a Low FODMAP diet. Use a swivel potato peeler to get lovely long strips or you can use a spiraliser too. There is no need to add salt to this salad as the tamari is naturally salty. If wished drizzle over a little sesame oil for extra flavour
Difficulty – Easy
Time – 15 minutes

Refreshing and hydrating cucumbers contain antioxidants, including flavonoids and tannins, which prevent the accumulation of harmful free radicals and may reduce the risk of chronic disease. A great source of fibre too making them ideal for digestive health.
Instead of cucumbers this is also delicious with spiralised courgettes and carrots.
