I hope your all enjoying these beautiful summer days and the long evenings. I sure am, especially the early morning sun, getting my Vit D and late evening sitting in my front yard with a nice glass of merlot, chatting with the neighbours and hanging with my kitty, Savannah.

A few nutritional tidbits on the ingredients:

Watermelons contain vitamins B and C, minerals potassium and magnesium, are high in water content and an excellent antioxidant.

Cucumbers contain vitamins A, B, C, minerals iodine, manganese and sulfur, they have a very high water content, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, help to dissolve uric acid and are good for intestinal health.

Buying organic is the best choice, but watermelons are not one of the dirty dozen and are on the clean list of conventional, so go ahead and buy conventional, but cucumbers not, buy organic or at the farmer’s market along with mint or grow it in your garden.

Ok enough talk here is the recipe
