Paletas de Pepino y Limón con Chile

Paletas de Pepino y Limón con Chile

A favorite childhood summer snack a plate of sliced cold cucumbers drizzled with lime and finished off with heavy dousing of chile.  I used to eat cup after cup when we visited my grandmother in Mexico. Thankfully my mom would recreate this yummy treat for us in the summer.

After spending the day bike riding this was the only way to beat the summer heat. My mom would place the cucumbers in the fridge overnight and slice just before serving.  Crisp thick slices of cumber soaked in sour lime juice. 

Ohh so delish!  Add chile to really make those slices pop!

My kids have grown up snacking on this summer treat and thought it would be fun to transform this snack into a paleta~

These kids. Love them!
