I am always looking for ways to make recipes healthier — I am also very willing to try out new, out-of-the-box and creative ideas for healthy food (you have to keep things interesting). Some ideas workout great, and others not so much (like a vegan raw cookie dough I recently tested). However, this idea of using cucumbers instead of bread, was a total win for me!
I like to get my whole grains through foods like quinoa or oatmeal, and usually try and avoid processed grains like bread. But, I love a good sandwich, and so when I heard you could use a cucumber in place of bread, I knew I had to try it.
Guys, this is so easy to do, and the cucumber actually holds the ‘sandwich’ together like it is supposed to (which kind of surprised me). It’s a very healthy alternative to eating processed bread, and great for anyone who is gluten-free or on a paleo diet!

I never thought about doing something like this, but I may just try it since I’m trying to get back on the healthy track. I may try mine with chicken salad. Thanks for sharing Tamera :)
