Daily Tidbit: I love Cucumbers. They are so easy to add to salads, sandwiches and use for dips. They are a great cooling agent when enjoyed with spicy dishes (like my Falafel Sandwich pictured above). They are full of water and help the body flush out toxins. They are low in calories; in fact a medium sized Cucumber has 13 Calories! And they have that great crunch.
