I love cucumbers and have revisited a old family recipe to bring it up to date. This is a very healthy side salad with a refreshing finish! 

 

Cucumbers contain a little bit of vitamin K, which helps blood clot normally. They also have a bit of potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure. Cucumbers also pack a lot of water (they’re 96 percent water) which means they’re filling and low in calories. Onions also contain disease-fighting compounds.
