This recipe combines light, crisp cucumber salad (for your “clean girl” lunch era) with decadent coffee tiramisu (because life is exhausting).
It’s refreshing, creamy, zesty, sweet, bold, and wildly chaotic—basically your love life, but edible and far more reliable.
Both dishes are vegan, totally bougie, and weirdly harmonious like that one coworker who microdoses wellness and rage.

✨ Notes & Tips
- Slice cucumbers thin for elegance, not aggression.
- Use espresso instead of coffee for a high-octane tiramisu moment.

- Garnish salad with toasted sesame seeds if you’re feeling extra.
- Store tiramisu covered in the fridge for 3 days. Good luck making it last that long.
