Cucumber is one of the most hydrating veggies with close to 90% water content. What makes this a great ingredient to experiment with during summers is its versatility. Not only can you just toss them raw in salads but also batter fry them, grill them or simply make refreshing drinks. These taste excellent when wrapped in sandwiches, pickled or whipped in soups. This summer do not let this humble veggie just toss around in your salads, get inspired and cook with cucumbers like never before.
