Active time: 10 min Start to finish: 20 min Ingredients:
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 |
Directions:
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).
4. Cooks' note: Spiced salt can be made 1 day ahead and kept, covered, at room temperature.
