Ingredients

  • 2 cucumbers peeled and spiralized into noodles (20 oz)
  • 1/2 Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon

Instructions

  • Spiral the cucumber and sprinkle it with the lemon juice and vinegar; toss and set aside

  • Add the rest of the broth to the pan and sauté the red pepper flakes and crushed garlic, stirring until fragrant, do not burn it (about 30 seconds)
