In the heat of the summer, cold cucumbers are especially refreshing. You can flavor your water with a few pieces, or take a break with cold cucumbers slices over your eyes!

And of course, eat them. We have forever made quick cucumber salads with onion, salt, pepper, olive oil and vinegar. So this smashed cucumber salad takes things up a notch, and is amazing alongside grilled protein.

We’ve also really enjoyed making quick pickles, which elevate summer burgers, sandwiches and salads. This recipe walks you through all kinds of quick pickles with produce in your box.

Stay cool!
