Cool Cucumber And Aloe Frappe With Lemongrass Recipes

15 CUCUMBER RECIPES: CUCUMBER SALAD & MORE!

Steps:

• Thinly slice the shallots. In a small container, stir together the sour cream, white vinegar, dried dill, grated garlic clove, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumbers and place them in a colander (if using standard cucumber, peel them first; English cucumbers don't need to be peeled). Toss the slices with several larger pinches of kosher salt and rest 45 minutes. Remove them from the colander and pat them dry.
• When ready to serve, gently stir together the cucumbers and dressing (don't stir too vigorously or it will cause bubbles). Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 2 hours; it gets watery if you refrigerate for too long with the sauce. If you'd like to prepare it in advance, refrigerate the components separately until serving.

ALOE VERA DRINK

Steps:

• Add the coconut water, aloe vera, cucumbers and apples to the carafe of a blender and puree until smooth. Strain if desired. Serve immediately over ice.

COOL CUCUMBER SOUP
