# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time than deciding what to snack on, and you only dirty one jar.
  • The crunch is so loud and satisfying it becomes part of the experience.
  • You can shake it right before eating or let it sit a few minutes, and either way it works.
02 -
  • If the cucumber is wet when you add the seasoning, it will clump and slide off instead of sticking.
  • Shaking in a jar distributes everything way better than tossing in a bowl, and it's more fun.
03 -
  • Chill the cucumber in the fridge for at least an hour before making this, cold makes the crunch so much better.
  • If your seasoning blend has big garlic or onion flakes, crush them a little before adding so they stick instead of falling off.
