How to eat more cucumbers 🥒
The beauty of the cucumber is its versatility. The mild flavor makes it easy to add to a variety of dishes. Plus, they’re affordable and easy to find year-round. To add more cucumbers into your diet, you can:
- Slice them: Cucumbers are a great addition to salads, sandwiches and wraps — and they provide a little crunch.
- Blend them: Adding cucumbers to your smoothie provides all the health benefits of cucumber without overpowering your smoothie.
- Dip them: The crunch of cucumbers resembles a potato chip. Dunk it in salad dressing, hummus or your favorite dip.
- Drink them: Make cuke juice by blending peeled cucumbers with water and straining it.
- Eat them raw: Wash your cucumber and dive in. Keep the peel on to get all the benefits.
- Top them: Treat a cucumber slice like a cracker. Top it with veggies or cream cheese.
Cucumbers can last up to a week when stored properly — washed, dried and stored in the warmest part of your fridge (near the front or on the door). If slicing your cukes makes you more likely to snack on them, place cut cucumbers in the refrigerator in a lidded container filled with water. Get ready to rediscover the humble cucumber and the many benefits it provides.
