Making English (hot house) cucumber last a week

HeidiCooksSupper

I like thinly cut English cucumber (in US groceries this is the cucumber that is about a foot long and is individually wrapped) on Greek yogurt for breakfast with a bit of dill and vinegar. One cucumber lasts me about 4 breakfasts which I space out through the week. If you leave the partial cucumber in its plastic wrapper it tends to mold before the week is out. Storing it in a perforated bread bag prevents this problem. You can get the micro-perforated bags at many bakery counters.

I know what you mean, my solution is to remove the shrink wrap and then wrap a paper napkin around it. The napkin absorbs the extra moisture that causes it to deteriorate. You can then wrap it in plastic or bag it. I loosely wrap it in Saran wrap.

I like to just slice them up and eat it, very good stuff!

never tried it in strained yogurt tho, sounds like your quick pickling it with the vinegar and dill sounds pretty good.
