Cool off with a bowl of curly cucumber \u201cnoodles,\u201d coated in a tangy, savory tahini dressing. Use a spiralizer to make cukes into noodle shapes for a refreshing twist on sesame noodles. Pre-seasoned baked tofu adds a protein boost with minimal effort.<\/p>\n
Ingredients
\n 2 tablespoons soy sauce
\n 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
\n 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
\n 3 tablespoons tahini
\n 1\/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
\n 1 tablespoon ginger root, grated
\n 1 clove garlic, grated
\n 3 large seedless cucumbers, spiralized to make 6 cups
\n 8 ounces baked tofu, cut into cubes

Preparation
\n 1. In a medium bowl, stir the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, tahini, cayenne, ginger and garlic.
