So, is it a salad or an entrée?
Great question. Think of it as a hearty, filling, entrée-sized salad. With 410 calories and 21g of protein per serving, our Cucumber Chaat Salad is a complete meal. However, it's versatile enough to be shared as a side dish, or as a base that you can add additional protein to. However you decide to use it, you can't go wrong!
X Tear pouch open and REMOVE oxygen absorber.
X Add a little less than 2/3 of a cup (150ML) of COOL (yup, not boiling) water to pouch.
X Mix well then REMOVE excess air from pouch. Reseal TIGHTLY.
X LAY POUCH FLAT on one side and wait an additional 5 minutes. PONDER... Does a spork question the duality of its existence?
X OPEN. STIR AGAIN. EAT. SMILE.
X REHYDRATION time may VARY depending on water temp. It should have a slight CRUNCH!

Tastes ok however the salt content is listed as 410 mg per serving. It tastes like 410 mg PER BITE! I would not but it again as its not worth packing. Every bite tastes like licking a salt block and overpowers the taste of the food. Texture is ok and salad is crunchy but the salt overpowers the taste. Disappointingly, I would not buy again.
Super easy to make. Great for on the go or a quick mid hike meal.
It looked delicious though I admit the flavor and taste was not my favorite. I do like that you just add cold water as sometimes I don't want the weight of my jet boil, but I wouldn't buy this one again.
Made this at home to try it out for a long thru hike treat! We were beyond amazed! Three of us sampled one pack with different dietary needs and interests. One of us what like that is hemp
seeds??
So filling, spice level
And flavor was fantastic!
One if our parties mentioned it would be great for rice, another mentioned you could add a meat protein if you are doubtful juat hemp seeds would make a full meal. We ate it mid afternoon. Everyone was content and full and not requiring a full dinner and felt fulfilled. We are hearty eaters.
Cucumber did not soften enough in the recommended "soak" time resulting in very tough chewing.
