I hope you're all having a great start to your week! I know for a lot of people you crash on the weekends and then pick back up starting Monday. If that's the case, then this is a great salad to use for lunches, dinners or just a snack. This salad has very few calories and you can eat more than usual and still loose weight. Besides the benefits of cucumbers, the spices in this dish will rev up your metabolism and help you burn off those calories and feel good again. Let me know what you think of this recipe! I found it off Jeanette's Healthy Living:) I would like to find a few more cucumber salad recipes to get me through spring and summer, if you have a favorite let me know:) Thanks!
Make it a great day!
