Cucumbers are so delicious but I was looking for a different way to serve them other than the traditional cucumbers and onions. Now that I’ve discovered Chile Crisp, I will be experimenting with other vegetables and dishes. This recipe is simple and the chile crisp was not too hot. I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to spice and I tolerated this very well. This would be delicious with an Asian meal.

Chile Onion Crunch Cucumbers

INGREDIENTS:

• 12 ounces of cucumber, seeded (peeling is optional)
• 2-4 tablespoons chilie onion crunch (I used Kroger Private Selection Chile Crisp)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Peel, seed and chop cucumbers in 1/2 inch sliced chunks.
2. Add salt, rice vinegar and maple syrup to the cucumbers. Stir to combine.
3. Stir the jar of chile onion crunch then add 2-4 tablespoons to the cucumbers.
4. Enjoy!
