Notes
- This recipe makes 8 servings, with each serving measuring about 1/2 cup.
- Each serving contains 1.7 net carbs.
- Tajin can be salty, so choose a low-sodium version if you are watching sodium.
- Use 3/4 cup mayonnaise when serving immediately, or 1/2 cup if preparing ahead because the cucumbers release moisture as they rest.
- Another seasoning blend can replace Tajin, but add salt only if your blend does not already include it.
- Lemon pepper seasoning also works well for a brighter, citrusy variation.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Cherry tomatoes may be stirred in whole or halved for extra color and juicy sweetness.
