It is very beneficial to keep your sugar levels as low as possible since sugar contributes to inflammation and feeds cancer cells. So rather than use crackers for snacks and appetizers, how about trying the crunchy cucumber? It makes a very pretty presentation and adds flavor to the salad or any dip you wish to fill the cucumber with. The chicken you use must be organic with no hormones, antibiotics and preferably free range. The chicken provides protein that helps to rebuild tissue and support your Immune System. Bon Appétit!

½ onion

1 pickle (raw and fermented)

2 garlic cloves

Add the above to the chicken.

The Dressing:

Mix the dressing into the chicken and stir well.

Peel a cucumber if it is not organic and slice it into ¼ inch slices.

With a spoon, core out the seeds and create a little dip in the slice.

Fill the cucumber with the chicken and top with fresh dill. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
