Cucumber s may not be the most attractive veggie out there, but they’re hiding a lot of health benefits.

Dill
Dill is great for your health. It helps you stay young and vibrant, with its zesty flavour that pairs perfectly with soups and salads alike. Keep this handy all year round because it only lasts a month! You can even do with some in your house just in case you need to fend off pesky critters like ants or flies too!
Ranch Dressing
Ranch Dressing is an all-purpose dressing that isn’t just for salads. Try it with pasta, potatoes au gratin, or baked chicken breast. It’s deliciously light enough to be a salad dressing, but not so smooth as to be overwhelmed by the flavour of your additions. With its tangy creaminess – you’ll never use another ranch.

How to Puree Cucumbers
Cucumbers are a great, easy way to get more vegetables into your diet. They’re also wonderful for their soothing and cooling properties on hot days.
But how do you puree cucumber?

- Scoop out the seeds with a spoon or cheesecloth if desired.
- Slice the cucumber finely and steam until tender but not mushy (about 3 minutes).

- Yield: 8-10 1x
Ingredients
- 1 medium cucumber, skin & seeds removed, finely chopped
- 3/4 cups ranch dressing (bottled or homemade)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
Instructions
- Puree the cucumbers, trying to drain any excess liquid.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Cover & refrigerate until ready to serve – preferably at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
