I cut cucumbers into thin slices and eat them in place of potato chips with a sandwich. I was eating baked chips, and then I realized I could cut out about 120 calories by eating cucumbers instead. Plus the cukes are much healthier than the baked chips. I eat them with a little hummus, and it is wonderful! I like Tribe Organic hummus because Costco has it in individual servings so I don't eat the whole bowl!0

Nice organic hummus in individual servings that's a good to know thanks for sharing!!!0 -
I love cucumber sandwiches!! Spread some low fat cream cheese on two slices of toasted ww bread, and load up the sandwich with sliced cucumbers! I like to cut the crusts off too and cut into triangles, reminds me of tea and toasts. )
Another is a cucumber salad - slice cucumbers in a bowl, add sliced red onion, a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and chopped fresh dill and let it ferment for a few hours. Very refreshing and super low calorie. You could also throw in some halved cherry tomatoes.
How could I forget these had them when I took my girls to the tea house!! Now we can have our own tea party at home!!0 -
I had one today with tomatoes onions tsp. oil and vinegar and a little pepper on top and let me just say garden fresh cucumbers are sooooooooo good!! They are going to be great with many of the receipes.........Thanks again everyone for sharing!!0

I'm not normally a fan of cucumbers (but give me spinach any day!) but some of these recipe ideas sound good I just had to bump this post for later.
Cucumbers are 0.59 each at No Frills starting Friday hence my motivation.0 -

Sliced cukes & tomatoes lil s&p & light ranch dressing.

Tzatiki Cucumber Sauce:
1 Cup Greek Yogurt
1 minced garlic clove

I know the question wasn't for me but they wrote the recipe for the tzatiki sauce under the name for you to make it yourself . Looks good I think I might try to make it myself since I always have a stock of cucumbers (just went to the store and bought 6 more giant cukes because I was getting low :P.)0 -
on top of triscuits with hummus. MMM0

You don't have to eat it, you could always make a facial out of it, just shread the cucumber and squeeze out the juice, add lemon juice and sugar (but make sure the liquid is icy cold first so the sugar doesn't disolve!) and viola! apply to the face and rub gently in circles for a max of 5 mins, its veryy refreshing
Or you could shread it, add some creme freche or 0% fat greek yogurt and some chopped up mint for a nice summery dip0 -
oops added it twice ><0
