Method

Prepare the cucumbers.
Rinse the baby cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel. You can leave them whole or slice them into bite-sized pieces for easier eating.
Tip: Slicing cucumbers can make them easier to eat and mix well with the jerky. -
Portion the beef jerky.
Measure out 2 ounces of low-sodium beef jerky. If the jerky pieces are large, you can cut them into smaller strips or bite-sized pieces for convenience.
Tip: Use a kitchen scale for accurate portioning if available. -
Assemble the snack.
Place the prepared baby cucumbers on a plate or in a bowl. Add the beef jerky alongside or on top. This allows you to enjoy the crunchy freshness of the cucumbers with the savory, chewy jerky.
Tip: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Pro tips
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper or your favorite herbs on the cucumbers.
- Keep beef jerky sealed tightly to maintain freshness and prevent it from drying out.
