    Sometimes life is so hectic that when an easy recipe comes your way, you take it with no questions asked - and this happens to be one of those encounters. Even though there are 8 ingredients, it couldn't possibly more simple to prepare.

    Simple Korean-Style Cucumbers

    Slice the cucumber as thin as you like, add all of the other ingredients and set the bowl in the fridge for 15-30 minutes or until you are ready to serve. No cooking is required! That's a wonderful thing when summer days are already hot enough!

    Cucumbers can soothe a mild sunburn, they can be used as a treatment for your tired eyes, you can toss them in the blender and mix them with mint as a skin tonic, but above all, you will want to eat them because they are good for your digestion too.

    The long green cukes are rich in silica, the very element that helps us develop and maintain healthy connective tissues, in essence benefiting our tendons, muscles, and ligaments. If you plan to work out or work outside in the garden, you may even want to add some cucumber to your blueberry smoothie.

    These Korean-style cucumbers pair well with any spice-matching protein dish: chicken wings, beef short ribs, or Korean BBQ beef - but we know that you will enjoy them for snacking too. Be "cool as a cucumber" and get sliced for dinner tonight.
