Ultimate Guide to the Perfect Cucumber Snack Bowl: A Refreshing & Healthy Delight

Cucumber Snack Bowl

When the summer sun got too warm, my grandma used to hand me a bowl of fresh cucumbers with a sprinkle of salt and a smile. This cucumber snack bowl is inspired by that memory — cool, crunchy, and packed with fresh flavor. It’s perfect for snacking, sharing, or just feeling good about what you eat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers, sliced

  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

  • ½ avocado, diced

  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

  • 1 tsp chili powder or Tajín (optional)

  • Salt & black pepper to taste

  • Fresh cilantro (optional)

  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional for richness)

  • Crushed peanuts or sesame seeds for crunch (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Cucumbers: Slice cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons. Place in a bowl.

  2. Add Flavor: Toss in red onion, avocado, lime juice, chili powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. Finish It: Drizzle with a little olive oil if desired. Add herbs or toppings like peanuts or sesame seeds.

  4. Chill & Serve: Let sit in the fridge 10 minutes for flavors to blend — then enjoy cold!

Notes

  • Use English cucumbers for fewer seeds and more crunch.

  • For extra zing, add a splash of rice vinegar or lemon juice.

  • Add diced tomatoes or bell peppers for more color and nutrients.

  • Store in the fridge for up to 2 days — but it’s best fresh!
