Lemon Cucumber Salad

Discovering a new ingredient at the market is like Christmas morning to me! You could imagine my excitement when found a lemon cucumber. That’s right… a LEMON cucumber. It looks and tastes exactly as you would think. This recipe for a Lemon Cucumber Salad is just as tasty as if you used a regular English cucumber.

A lemon cucumber are small heirloom cucumbers that have a lemon colored skin. They are sweet, not bitter and are easily digested.



You’re probably wondering how I found strawberries like this. This delightful recipe includes dehydrated strawberries. I used my air fryer but you can use your oven. Simply roast them on low heat (220 degrees F) for roughly 6 hours or until they’ve dried. Dehydrated the strawberries retain the flavour and they turn into flavour BOMBS! Make a little extra and add them to your little one’s snack rotation. I purchase extra and they make a great treat for Carrington.
