You know those days where you just wish you didn’t have to do anything in the kitchen? Those days where it seems like too much effort to even open the fridge and look for something healthy to eat? This recipe idea is so simple because it came out of one of those days. I didn’t want to do anything except open a bag of plantain chips and call it dinner. Thankfully something in my brain told me that eating plantain chips as a dinner wasn’t really a dinner and I would need something to go with it.
So I grabbed a cucumber threw some olive oil and garlic in it and called it a salad. Surprisingly this recipe packs a good punch of flavor thanks to the garlic. If you don’t like garlic breath then only use 1 clove. If you are a garlic lover then go ahead and add 2 or more cloves.
