Notes

I know that pistachios are not the cheapest. You can swap pistachios for almonds or walnuts.

If you have a nut allergy, use sunflower seeds, sesame, or pumpkin seeds in place of pistachios.

If you want to add extra protein, make this into waffle iron tofu salad.

This recipe only uses a small amount of chili flakes, but if you're sensitive to spice, you can omit.

This vegan creamy cucumber salad also works as filling for sandwiches, wraps, and pita.
