Be cool like a cucumber

By - Ted Escobedo 11 months ago

Even though summer is on its way out, it’s still prime season for cucumbers and you will want to enjoy their freshness before it’s too late. Cucumbers are nutrient-rich and low in calories but high in many important vitamins and minerals. Cucumbers also contain antioxidants and are a great source for hydration. Proper hydration can affect everything from physical performance to metabolism.
Here’s an easy and refreshing cucumber salad recipe:
In a large bowl, toss together cucumbers, onion, vinegar, honey, and salt. Chill for 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl, leaving any excess water behind. Sprinkle with the dill and chives, if desired. Season with several grinds of pepper and serve.
