The following timely recipe for “Cucumber Lemonade†is from Danita & Layne, two of our CSA members who happen to be gardeners and very clever cooks.
Danita says:
"So...with your plethora of cucumbers...have you tried cucumber lemonade?
Layne and I made some with some of the cukes that came in the box."
"Cucumber Lemonade"
2 large cucumbers
2 ½ cups water
Puree water and cukes in a blender.
Strain the liquid over a bowl through a fine mesh strainer.
Add sugar and lemon to taste and serve over ice.
"It makes the most beautiful, green, refreshing drink. We LOVE it!"

Thank you, Danita & Layne! We'll definitely try it!
