Instructions

Notes
- Store this homemade sauce in a covered container in the fridge. It will last for 2-3 days. When you remove the sauce from the fridge, give it a good stir to make sure everything is combined again.
- I don't peel or de-seed my cucumber before shredded. Since this is a small batch recipe, you really won't notice. Of course, you can do this if you prefer it that way.
