Introduction: Raw Cucumber-Carrot Noodles With Tropical Sauce
Super Healthy, light, Refreshing and a Raw recipe.... Cucumbers helps you to beat the heat as it has high water content and low in calories. The Orange and Coconut Sauce gives a refreshing tropical feel.
A spiralizer or a Mandoline slicer can be used to get the noodle shape... But as I don't have them I have tried to get the noodle string with the help of a Vegetable peeler.
