Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Black beans
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Optional: Jalapeño slices
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds, creating your 'nacho chips'. Arrange the slices on a large serving platter in a single layer.
Shred the cheddar cheese if it is not pre-shredded. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the cucumber slices.
Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes, placing one or two halves on top of each cucumber slice.
Rinse and drain the black beans. Spoon a small amount onto each cucumber slice, spreading evenly across the platter.
Add a small dollop (about half a teaspoon) of sour cream to the top of each cucumber slice.
Finely chop the green onions and cilantro. Sprinkle them over the cucumber nachos for added flavor.
Slice the lime in half and squeeze fresh lime juice across the entire platter. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
For optional spice, add jalapeño slices on top of certain cucumber slices or serve them on the side.
Serve immediately as a refreshing and healthy snack or appetizer.
