Trying the viral CUCUMBER SALAD recipe 😋
✨ Trying the viral cucumber salad but with a sushi-inspired twist! ✨
I used:
🥒 2 cucumbers
🧀 Whipped chive, garden vegetable, & jalapeño Philadelphia cream cheese
🌿 Watkins organic everything bagel seasoning (please don’t get organic because this seasoning was $12.99 🙃)
🐟 Nathan’s Nova Lox salmon
🍙 Crushed teriyaki roasted seaweed sheets (my seaweed snack stash came in clutch)
🧂 Pinch of sea salt
This was sooo good! 🤤 It tasted like a mix between a California roll and Philadelphia roll—omg! Honestly, I might start calling this ‘lazy sushi.’
Please feel free to share other cucumber salad recipes if you have em! 😁
Edit: In my attempt to be more mindful of what I consume, I’ll be posting some of my meals here on Lemon8 to keep me consistent. Working full-time and going to school full-time is challenging, but I still need to make the time to care for my body. After all, this is the one house I’m gonna live in forever. 🫶🏾
