Veggie of the Month

Cucumbers are an incredibly refreshing veggie due to their high water content. They are great for adding to salads, burgers, juices, or making a batch of pickles. Our personal favorite is the BCT: a bacon, cucumber, and tomato sandwich! Here are a few other cucumber recipes to lend some culinary inspiration:
