Weight Watchers Zero Point Cucumber Bang Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 large cucumbers (thinly sliced)
• 1/4 red onion (very thinly sliced)
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1–2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
• 1–2 tsp chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce (adjust to taste)
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional but recommended)
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley), chopped

🥣 Instructions:

1. Prep the cucumbers: Slice them thinly. For extra crunch, you can lightly salt them and let sit for 10 minutes, then drain excess water.
2. Mix the dressing: In a bowl, combine rice vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes.
3. Combine: Toss cucumbers, red onion, and tomatoes with the dressing.
4. Chill: Let it sit in the fridge for 15–30 minutes so flavors meld.
5. Finish: Add fresh herbs, adjust seasoning, and serve cold.

🔥 Why it’s called “Bang” salad

The “bang” comes from the punchy combo of acid (lime + vinegar), heat (chili), and umami (soy sauce). It hits all the flavor notes without adding points.

💡 Tips:

• Add sliced radishes or bell peppers for extra crunch (still 0 points).
• If you want protein, toss in grilled chicken breast or shrimp (will add points depending on plan).
• Use a spiralizer for a noodle-style version.
