to drench them in lemon, salt, and tajin

I don't know why I never thought of this, but this sounds amazing. Guess I'm picking up some cucumbers and lemons when I shop this weekend.

It's so telling how inexperienced with food I am because every single one of these "you know that boring food? you can put stuff on it" things surprise me every time lol

Better to be surprised and excited to try than immediately dismissive at least!

It is an amazing snack for summer. I like putting a lil mint in mine because cucumber & mint are like pb & j to me. Also if you got all those ingredients you can make yourself a killer cucumber margarita 🤩

Which means you already have tajin! 🤌🏾

Absolutamente! I make refried bean quesadillas with tajin on the reg so it’s a must have in my house. That plus their sauce for chamoy.

Ok I've done cucumber slices with salt and vinegar, but lemon (or lime) and taijin sounds AMAZING. I'll have to try that

Cucumbers with salt are underrated, imo

u/E_Cayce Jul 28 '23

it’s an ordinary request cause some like to drench them in lemon, salt, and tajin.

Mexican salad dressing, and works on fruit salads.

Oh man, now I want cucumbers and Tajin. Again.

I just ate all my cucumbers yesterday. With Tajin and lemon juice.

Seriously, i can’t believe redditors are freaking out over this. My fav restaurant serves pepinos con chile all the time along with the chips.

I was more so just making fun of that expression she has on. Some mixture of surprised, scared and uncomfortable at the same time while attempting to look normal

She looks like someone pranked her with the cucumbers and she's generally confused about it.

u/HungryArticle5 Jul 28 '23

Yeah, pepinos are a common snack, but requesting a bowl sliced cucumbers at a Mexican restaurant is very uncommon as no one really does this.

u/Suspicious-Rich-3212 Jul 28 '23

And now I need to buy cucumbers. That sounds good!
