Cool Off with Cucumbers

Enjoy the coolest food of the season

Some people may love watermelon, but for me, it's all about the cucumbers this season. Cool, crisp and delicious, they keep me hydrated and satiated throughout the day. While I sadly don't have my own garden this year, I have so many friends bringing gifts of cukes lately that I haven't even had to buy any! 

What do you do with your cucumbers? There are so many countless ideas, from salsas to ambrosia, salads to even pickling (and my husband makes the BEST garlic pickles), but I honestly just enjoy them plain. Salt, cayenne and other herbs can definitely be tasty, but plain old cucumbers are the best!

Do you have any great cucumber recipes? Share your favorites in the chat.
