Smashed Cucumber Recipe

Between us adults, this recipe is wonderful because it exposes your little one to cucumbers in new and different ways. This is a proven strategy to get kids to try new things. The smashing also feels therapeutic. 

For all new foods and foods your kid may not love (yet) exposure is key. Touching, chopping, smashing all count. 

Warning: recipe is delicious and very easy!
