Cucumber, Apricot and Avocado Salad
Hydration is essential for almost every bodily function including circulation, digestion, absorption and elimination of waste.
Water requirements vary greatly from person to person, based on activity level, diet and lifestyle. Our requirements however, increase when we are in warmer temperatures (ie. these hot summer days we're having).
One way to help ensure we are getting enough water is to eat foods that are high in water content such as fresh fruits and vegetables.
This cucumber, apricot and avocado salad is super hydrating, refreshing and easy to make. Made with simple and in season produce.
If you make it, I’d love to see!
