Supremely Silica-Rich Dressing
There's no two ways about it: cucumber is a woefully underappreciated vegetable.
But this gorgeous green underdog provides so much more than just wonderful
crunch! Cucumbers are rich in the minerals responsible for building connective tis-
sues like bones, skin, hair, and nails. They're also incredibly hydrating and natu-
rally cooling. Here, they add a delicate flavor and a full body that allows for the
reduction of oil, making this a delicious and lower-calorie dressing option.
