This month as we are finishing up the last of our garden cucumbers, I'd like to feature this popular vegetable. Cucumbers are not very high in nutrients but that doesn't stop us from eating them! There is some vitamin E in the seeds and folic acid in their skins. I would recommend peeling them if they are not organic, however, organic cucumbers are obviously the best choice!
Cucumber Salsa
1 organic cucumber, quartered and sliced
1 cup organic cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 mango, chopped
2 - 4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lime, juiced
Chop the cucumber, tomatoes, cilantro and mango. Mix together in a bowl. Crush the garlic and juice the lime. Stir garlic and lime together and pour over mixture. Serve with baked tortillas, over a bed of organic greens, or as it is!
