Chilled cucumbers conjure up memories of the burning sand and glaring sun of Cabo San Lucas. Too hot to eat, crunchy cucumbers slathered with fresh guacamole or a splash of lime juice keep you hydrated and pleasantly sated. Back home in California, my favorite taqueria serves up sliced cukes with spicy chimichurri and a dusting of Cotija. When the sun is high, this is my go-to poolside snack. Maybe it will become yours?
