Portion size cucumber
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating
Great in salads and sandwiches, you need to eat half a cucumber a day to get the benefits. It's quite doable really, if you have a little bit for lunch and then some in a side salad for dinner. But if you need more inspiration, here's some ideas of how to squeeze half a cucumber into your meals:

Cucumber, avocado and prawn salad
Trout fillets with pea and cucumber
Cucumber and yogurt dip
Cucumber and mango salad

Next portion: Blueberries
