If you and your family like chicken and cucumbers, these Chicken Salad Cucumber Bites is a recipe for you!

They are a tasty protein-based snack that is filling for bariatric patients but also great for anyone wanting something different with the bonus that it is low-carb.

What makes this recipe so healthy is that one 11-ounce (300-gram) unpeeled, raw cucumber contains the following:

  • Vitamin C: 14% of the RDI
  • Vitamin K: 62% of the RDI
  • Magnesium: 10% of the RDI
  • Potassium: 13% of the RDI
  • Manganese: 12% of the RDI

Since cucumbers are composed of about 96% water, they are especially effective at promoting hydration and can help you meet your daily fluid needs.
