Cuke Crazy

I just came back from doing a cooking demo at the farmers market at Krankies coffeehouse downtown.

Actually, I was not cooking, but preparing raw food to highlight some of the wonderful fresh vegetables at the market.

I made some salsa and marinated sliced tomatoes, but the big hit was the cucumber agua fresca. This is a beverage of cold pureed cucumbers with lime juice.

When I first made this back in July, I was blown away by how good and wonderfully refreshing it is. Everybody who tasted it today had the same reaction.

The taste is clean, the preparation is simple, and the results are fabulous.
