This is my absolute favorite super simple, healthy, crunchy, salty, snack that takes about 2 minutes to prepare.

Every single time we go to PF Chang’s I order two items (as predictable as Norm on Cheers).  I order the Shanghai Cucumbers and the Banana Spring Rolls.  If you have not had these items, you haven’t lived.  Just saying.

The Shanghai Cucumbers I have you covered because you can make these yourself in about 10 seconds.  The banana spring rolls are little pillows of heaven- fried chunks of banana, drizzled in caramel sauce and served with the most wonderful pineapple and coconut ice cream. Amazing and possibly my favorite dessert ever.  But back to cucumbers… I love the cucumbers because they are crunchy and salty and light enough so I always have room to feast on banana spring rolls.  #winning.  #blessed.

These are wonderful packed in a mason jar for a quick bite or as a side dish with teriyaki chicken.  In fact that is exactly what we are having for dinner tonight.

This recipe is enough for four servings as a side dish, but feel free to double to recipe for more generous servings.

To make these, you only need a few simple ingredients:

And the soy sauce and cucumbers isn’t the prettiest presentation so feel free to garnish with red pepper flakes or green onions or a bit of cilantro.
