Cherry Tomatoes and Cucumber Spears with Spiced Salt Recipe

Cherry Tomatoes and Cucumber Spears with Spiced Salt Recipe

  • 3 seedless cucumbers (usually plastic-wrapped), halved crosswise, then each half cut lengthwise into 8 spears
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 pt cherry tomatoes
  • 1 lime, halved
  1. Chill cucumber spears in a large bowl of ice and cold water 15 minutes, then arrange in a serving bowl filled with ice.
  2. Stir together kosher salt, cayenne, and black pepper in a small serving bowl for dipping vegetables.
  3. Arrange cherry tomatoes in serving bowls, then squeeze lime over them just before serving (juice helps salt adhere to tomatoes).
