Description
A fresh and creamy mash-up of cucumber and Caesar salad, combining crunchy mini cucumbers with rich Parmesan, toasty breadcrumbs, and a savory Caesar dressing—all without any meat.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces mini seedless cucumbers
- 1 cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese
- ½ tablespoon salted butter
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Caesar dressing (or to taste)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat, add the breadcrumbs, and toast until golden, stirring often.
- Slice the cucumbers about ¼‑inch thick and place them in a large bowl.
- Add about ½ cup of shaved Parmesan and 2 tablespoons of the toasted breadcrumbs.
- Pour in Caesar dressing to taste and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Garnish with extra Parmesan and breadcrumbs before serving.
Notes
- Best eaten within 1 day for optimal crunch.
- You can use any type of cucumber if mini seedless aren’t available.
- Store-bought Caesar dressing works great if you're short on time.
- Toasted breadcrumbs can be prepared a day in advance.
- Customize with additions like onions, peppers, or chickpeas.
