Finally, I can use my chili powder in my pantry for something other than…well, chili. I’ve seen this recipe floating across my Facebook timeline a few times and figured it sounded tasty enough to try. I also used my own measurements since the recipe I kept seeing didn’t have any (odd?)
Here’s what I used – next time, I’m going to try lime juice instead. It was tangy and sour and delicious and you can certainly add more chili powder to your liking. I’ll be making this often, as it’s the afternoons that are the hardest for me to resist impulse snacking!
Chili Cucumber Snack
Ingredients

Wondering what this would be like if lemon was switched for lime? Chili lime…
I loce cucumbers so will definatley try this recipy
Yes! I loved it already and I hadn’t even read the full recipe. Cucumbers are such a refreshing snack. Even as a kid, I remember chopping and “marinating” them in vinegar and spices… Waiting a few minutes, then gobbling them all up 🙂 Of course I still do that to this day :))
Love this, but also use my chili powder on tilapia for fish tacos. Yummo.
