Cucumbers are most widespread vegetables in the world, they are one of the best sources for our overall health
I use a vegetable peeler and ribbon the most of the firm part of half a cucumber and them chop what is left, add it to a grated organic carrot, little gem lettuce chopped, and some cherry tomatoes, a steamed beetroot and a squirt of garlic mayonnaise.
Leave for 2 hours, moosh it up again then oh the flavours all marry together to make the most scrumptious salad to go with anything or eat on it's own, ( I do most days in work as I tend to avoid bread) I do like a bit of grated strong cheddar cheese in or a few bits of mozzarella through it. :)
