Ingredients
- 4 large cucumbers
- 1 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp raw red onion, chopped
- 1 large handful fresh chives, about 1/2 cup chopped, reserve about 2-3 Tbsp for sprinkling on top
- 1 clove fresh garlic, chopped
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, or to taste
- 1/2 cup water, or more as needed to get to creamy consistency
- Optional: sprinkling of sumac on top
Method
Step 1
Combine sunflower seeds and salt in bowl of food processor. Process for 10-20 seconds until they form a fine powder. Add remaining ingredients onion through water and process again for 1-2 minutes, until super creamy. You will likely have to scrape down the sides once or twice. Set aside.
Step 2
If desired, peel cucumber lightly in alternating rows, to create a pretty striped effect on outside. Slice into 1-1.5" pieces and set aside.
Step 3
Spread a spoonful of "cheese" on top of each cucumber and place on plate or platter. Continue until done, sprinkle with chopped chives and sumac if desired, and enjoy!
