1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
¼ tsp fine sea salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp ground turmeric
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tbsp fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Trim the ends from the cucumbers and cut each in half crosswise, then cut each half into 6–8 spears by halving lengthwise and cutting each half into thirds or quarters, depending on the cucumber's diameter.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and turmeric until combined.
