The MAX AC Channel

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of the Max AC Channel. For this month’s theme, with fall fast approaching, I thought we could make some recipes that would be great to snack on during your last minute road trips before school begins once again. So for this month, we will be doing September Snacks once more, where we will be taking a look at 5 more easy-to-make and delicious snacks to enjoy as the summer comes to an end. For this episode, we will be making some Cucumber Salad.
In the comments below, let me know how it went if you decide to make it and let me know if there’s anything you want to make next. Like the video, share it with your friends and family, and subscribe to this channel for more episodes of the MAX AC Channel.
And remember, if you want to stay cool in the kitchen, turn your AC to the max and watch the MAX AC Channel.

CUCUMBER SALAD (1 pint each)
Ingredients:
1-2 cucumbers of course (I recommend using Persian or English cucumbers as other varieties such as American cucumbers can be a bit too watery and the skin can be too tough to eat)
Some salt (to help draw out the moisture)
Asian Inspired Cucumber Salad:
1 tbsp or so of soy sauce
1 tbsp or so of rice wine vinegar
1 tsp or so of toasted sesame oil
1 tsp or so of chili oil
1-2 cloves of garlic
1 green onion
Some sesame seeds
Some MSG
Everything Bagel and Lox Inspired Cucumber Salad:
Some smoked salmon or lox (about 2-4 oz)
1/4 of a small red onion
2 tbsp or so of cream cheese
1/2 tbsp or so of capers (optional)
1/2 of an avocado
1/2 tbsp or so of everything bagel seasoning
1 tsp or so of fresh or dried dill
Some MSG
Mediterranean Inspired Cucumber Salad:
1/4 cup or so of tomato
1/4 of a small red onion
1/4 cup or so of olives
1/4 cup or so of feta cheese
2-3 tbsp or so of greek yogurt
1 tsp or so of olive oil
1 tbsp or so of vinegar
1/2 lemon worth of juice
1 tsp or so of fresh or dried dill
Tuna Cucumber Salad:
Some tuna (2-4 oz)
2 tbsp or so of mayo
1 tsp or so of sriracha sauce
2-3 radishes
1/2 of an avocado
1/2 lemon worth of juice
Some pepper
Instructions:
1. First, for your cucumbers, before you slice them up, make sure to give them a wash and then I recommend using a fork to score the sides of the cucumber. This allows more of the ingredients to cling to the cucumber slices since the sides won’t be as smooth. Then, using your mandolin or a knife, carefully slice your cucumber into thin slices.
2. Next, add half of your cucumbers to your jar/mixing bowl and then add some salt to help draw out some of the moisture while we prepare the rest of the ingredients.
3. Using a knife or your mandolin again, slice up any of your ingredients, such as the garlic, green onion, smoked salmon, red onion, avocados, tomatoes, and radishes into small, bite sized pieces and then add these and any other solid ingredients to your salted cucumbers. You may strain out the water from the cucumbers before this, but it’s fine to leave it in since it’ll help to thin out some of the more solid liquids like the cream cheese and the yogurt.
4. Then, for any herbs, spices, seasonings, sauces, oils, or any other ingredients, add these on top.
5. Next, add in the rest of your cucumber on top of this and sprinkle some more salt on top if desired.
6. Then, once your cucumber salad is to your liking, close your mason jar and give it a vigorous shake or mix it in your bowl until all of the ingredients are evenly mixed together and the cucumbers are evenly coated with your choice of additions. And with that, your Cucumber Salad is ready to eat.
