Chilled cucumbers conjure up memories of Cabo San Lucas’ burning sand and glaring sun.

Back home in California, I serve up my cukes alongside grilled vegetables, spicy radishes, & crispy celery topped with tangy chimichurri. When the sun is high, this is my go-to poolside snack – vegetables low in carbohydrates, yet high in flavor. Maybe it will become yours?
