Cucumbers are having a fabulous year and everyone seems inundated with them.
I found a great cuke salsa recipe that's really tasty. What other recipes do you have?

    You can make a marinated salad. Cucumbers, red onions and tomatoes in vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and celery seed. If you like peppers, add either or all of red, yellow and green

    Put sliced cucumber in your water. I call it my "spa water." Way less acidic than lemon.

    I also like it chopped up with some red onion in an apple cider, olive oil, dijon mustard and a tiny bit of sugar dressing.

    Cucumber, onion and seasoned rice vinegar (Marukan seasoned rice vinegar) - easy to make and delicious. The cuc's are coming on in our garden - will probably eat one a day for a while.

    So easy, can't go wrong. Slice cukes and onions thin. Put cukes in a colander and salt them. This will drain excess water. leave about 1/2 hour. Then just use plain greek yogurt til coated..Can also add dill if desired. Salt and pepper to taste

    Cucumbers are one of my favorite veggies, especially the Armenian variety.

    Make tzatziki sauce. I usually buy mine pre-made, but there are tons of recipe on the web. I like to use it as a veggie dip and as a sandwich condiment.

    Not really a recipe, but I often use cucumber slices instead of bread. Slice of cucumber, little tzatziki, small piece of turkey, small piece of cheese, small piece of tomato, slice of cucumber. I'll usually have 4 or 5 of those for lunch. Tasty and filling.

    I don't make juice often, but one of my favorites is cucumber, cantaloupe, Granny Smith apple and carrot.
