I’ll be honest with you: I’ve been a cucumber skeptic for years. It’s not that I ever disliked the vegetable — it’s just that it never really did that much for me. The crunch is fine, but the flavor is, well, nonexistent. Especially in the summer, when there is so much abundance around, I always felt my time was more well-spent on things like tomatoes and corn.
Clearly I wasn’t in the know, because there’s a cucumber out there that’s pretty much as cool as those summer sweethearts: the Persian cucumber. It’s crisp and refreshing, yes, but it’s actually got some flavor and spunk to it, which automatically makes it hip and, excuse the pun, the coolest cucumber you can enjoy this summer.
