We had to come up with a way to use them quickly, because as far as we knew, cucumbers don\u2019t freeze well. We had cucumber salads, cucumber slices on our sandwiches, and then we made cucumber slushies. The slushies are super easy to make and are a healthy, refreshing summer beverage. We added watermelon for one version. Sooo good. Here\u2019s what we came up with for the recipes. We\u2019ve had a week of slushies and nobody has keeled over yet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">But then, nobody has ever died in the Kerrian Kitchen.
