Well, since it is 90 degrees here this is right on time!!!!!! What a cool and refreshing way to get your veggies in a tasty way too! Cucumbers are screaming "we are not just an addition to salads! We are more!" So listen to them and use them today in a different way!
Crunch! I am going to try the recipes!

Peace,
WW

    Another thing that cucmbers are good for is adding to your water when you want to flavor it a little bit, just slice up your fave fruit and some Cukes (works especially well with lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits), add to a pitcher of water and ice (or refrigerate) and drink a nice cool refreshing pitcher of water with a nice fruity twist

    As a kid I used to get a cucumber with a red ribbon from my grandma every Christmas. It was all I ever asked her for.

    Yeah, I was a bit of a weird kid.

    Sad to say, this is not a challenge for me. I can't stand cucumbers and I'm also allergic. I have been eating apples though, thats new for me.

    I have fallen in love with the cocktail cucumbers from Costco. They are so yummy and crunchy. I have had them in water but that wasn't something I liked. As a kid we use to have cukes with onions, dill, and vinegar as a salad. I never at the onions.

    I will be sure to pick up a cucumber this week at the store, but I think I'll stick with my traditional hummus & cucumber sandwich!
