It is super-hot outside and there’s nothing better than the cool cucumber slices to bring some relief. The Tangy Cucumber and Lettuce Salad Bowl is the right accompaniment in every meal this summer.
The sight of it is so refreshing and cooling to the eyes that you feel happy. I am eating clean this entire April because a. it’s my theme for the month b. I don’t feel like eating anything spicy or sweet or anything. If I could simply survive on juices and water I would probably do that now!
We did have some rain yesterday which was a big relief. Find out my Tangy Cucumber and Lettuce Salad Bowl which is perfectly summer ready!
