Quick Tip
Persian cucumbers are about half the length and width of English cucumbers and have a thin skin and a pleasant, crunchy flesh.
Try them in place of English cucumbers or Kirbys in this or any other summer salad.

High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
