Cucumber Noodles With Bruschetta

A refreshing meal with Italian flavors, this simple dish is one you may find yourself turning to over and over again. This recipe comes from the Revised and Expanded Edition of Medical Medium.

Cucumbers are allies to the liver due to their ability to hydrate it. Your liver is always in need of living water that’s filled with minerals and other nutrients, because your liver keeps your blood hydrated. It relies on sources such as cucumber for that living water. This minimizes dirty blood syndrome by helping reduce fats and toxins inside of dirty blood.

Tomatoes harness critical micronutrients, phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals to support many functions of the liver.

Cucumber Noodles With Bruschetta Topping

Ingredients:

• 1 English cucumber, peeled
• 2 cups diced cherry or grape tomatoes
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup tightly packed basil leaves, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp raw honey

Directions:

Make the cucumber into noodles using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler. Place in a bowl and set aside.

Combine the tomatoes, garlic, basil, red onion, red pepper flakes (if using), lemon juice, and raw honey in a bowl and mix well. Spoon on top of the cucumber noodles and serve immediately.

Tips:

• You’re welcome to make cucumber noodles with any type of cucumber. English cucumbers are listed here because they’re the easiest to spiralize.
• You can leave the skin on your cucumber or remove it—it comes down to personal preference. If you’re using a regular cucumber instead of an English cucumber, peeling the hard skin off first will produce the best cucumber noodles.
