Cucumbers
Cucumbers are mostly water. Cucumbers can be added to salads, dipped in low fat dressings, sliced up onto a sandwich, sliced into cold side dishes, put into
wraps, used as a healthy alternative to a tortilla shell, or just eaten with a vinegar based cucumber salad. The possibilities are endless for cucumbers.
Cucumbers are extremely low in calories, making them a very favorable diet food, right up there with lettuce.
