Dressing Up Your Cucumbers

Make them taste even better

As a little girl, I loved having raw cucumbers as a snack. My mom usually just sliced them up and we ate them raw. We might have a little salt sprinkled on our cukes but that was pretty much it. As an adult, I’m finding out that it’s really fun to try new ways to eat cucumbers.

This week, I tried sprinkling some chili powder on my cucumber slices along with some salt, pepper and lime juice. I took the idea from the Mexican Made Meatless blog and they are the best cucumbers I’ve ever had! I used the Arizona spice blend from Penzey’s, my favorite spice shop, and wow. They are just amazing and I never would have thought to do something this simple yet tasty.

How do you dress up your cucumbers?
