What to make with carrots and cucumber: 20 easy dinners
These 20 dinners all use carrots and cucumber. The quickest is Turkey and hummus pita pockets, on the table in 10 minutes. Six of them are simple enough for a first try. Under each one is what else you’d need, not counting salt, oil and spices.
