• 4 or 5 Persian Cucumbers (small ones) 
• 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I recommend Bariani Organic & Raw* OR Sancha Inchi Oil*
• 1 - 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon of sesame oil 
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt, I recommend Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt* 
• 2 tablespoons of Sea Palm, soaked and chopped*
• 1 tablespoon of Chia Seeds
• a Dash of ground white peppercorn, optional

Sometimes the simplest, smallest and seemingly most tangential recipes are the most important. A dish composed of many ingredients might need just a dash, splash or hint of a spice, seasoning or topping to pull it all together and make it delicious. Just think of what salt and pepper can do...or Parmesan cheese! 

Try this on your favorite salad, sandwich, pasta, or other savory snack!

Ingredients:

3 large mild green chiles, Anaheim or similar variety
