I simply love cucumbers. They’re hydrating, can easily be turned into a quick snack option when you need one and—in my experience—they’re always readily available from the produce section.
For this cucumber, green bell pepper & brazil nut salad, I’ve decided to grate the nuts into tiny pieces and this to me is one of the best, yet seemingly neglected ways of incorporating larger nuts into salad recipes.
I hope you’ll enjoy this tasty and filling treat.
