Spicy Spiral Cucumber Salad Recipe
A crunchy, crave-worthy snack that’s anything but basic yet easy to make.
Ok, this might be our favorite thing ever.
Crunchy, spicy, bursting with flavor, and… hormone supportive. What more could you ask for?
This isn’t your average cucumber salad. These viral spiral-cut spicy cucumbers pack extra supportive benefits – they feature our game-changing beeya seed cycling blends.
These cucumbers are salted, marinated, and drizzled with a bold sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and gochujang (or chili oil if you prefer!). The final touch? A sprinkle of our beeya seed cycling blends for a satisfying crunch that can also support hormone balance.
Why add seeds? Because ground flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds—when eaten at the right time in your cycle—can support balanced hormones, clearer skin, fewer PMS symptoms, and better moods.
Snack on it straight from the bowl or serve as a cooling side dish for warm weather meals.

Spicy Spiral Cucumber Salad
Makes: 2 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: none
Ingredients:
- 2 Persian cucumbers (or 1 large English cucumber), spiral cut or thinly sliced
- 1 tsp sea salt (for sweating cucumbers)
- 1 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp gochujang (or sub chili oil to taste)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, grated or finely minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 scoop beeya seed cycling blend
- Green onions
Instructions:
- Prep the Cucumbers: Wash and trim the ends off the cucumbers. Place a chopstick on each side of the cucumber to prevent cutting all the way through. Use a sharp knife to make diagonal cuts along the first side of the cucumber, cutting down until you hit the chopsticks. Flip the cucumber over and make straight cuts along the second side. Gently pull to stretch the cucumber into a spiral or accordion shape. Toss with salt and let sit for 5 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse with cold water and pat dry.
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, gochujang (or chili oil), mayo, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and honey if using.
- Dress + Toss: Drizzle the sauce over the cucumbers and toss to coat. Add the beeya seed cycling blend and toss again.
- Marinate: Let the salad sit for 30 minutes to absorb all the flavor. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve cold.
