4 servings
For the slaw
- 2 medium english cucumbers, very thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
- 1 bunch radishes (about 8 radishes), very thinly sliced
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced (green tops only)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient noteSmall amounts of fresh ginger are often well-tolerated on a low histamine diet. This recipe only uses about 1/4 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- ¼ tsp salt
For serving
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Ingredient noteNuts and seeds are typically low in histamine but carry other amines. This recipe only uses about 1 g per serving. If you prefer to always avoid sesame seed, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Toss to coat and let stand for 10 minutes, until the cucumbers have released some of their liquid. Drain off the excess liquid and pat the cucumbers lightly dry with a paper towel.
