Cucumber Limeade

Inspiration:
A cucumber from our CSA and Everyday Food

Ingredients:

• 1 English cucumber, (about 1 pound)
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions:

1. Peel English cucumber; remove any seeds. Coarsely chop and combine in a blender with water, sugar, lime juice, coarse salt, and ice cubes; blend until smooth.
   
2. Serve over ice, garnished with cucumber spears, if desired.

Notes: The flavor was good. I didn't care for the texture; I don't like smoothies, so it's not too surprising. The flavor combination was good; I will continue to have ice water with cucumber and lime slices!
