Strawberry Cucumber Salad

The flesh of cucumbers is a very good source of vitamins A, C, and folic acid. The hard skin is rich in fiber and a variety of minerals including  magnesium, silica, molybdenum, and potassium. I also like to toss broccoli spouts over my salads (or add to shakes!) because topping a salad  wtih broccoli sprouts may provide you with many of it’s cancer-protective benefits.
