Looks so good. Our garden is just about ready for the picking & we should have lots of cucumbers. We'll have to try this out. Yum! Following you from Tip Junkie‘s link party. Would love to have you link this up to my {wow me} wednesday link party going on right now over on my blog. Hope to see you there. 🙂

I'm not a huge cucumber fan but I'm sure my hubby and boys would have no problem finishing this off on their own:)
