    You can actually saute them in a little bit of butter and top with a little bit of fresh thyme or mint

    I absolutely love just cutting them into strips and eating them with a little salt. It's one of my favorite snacks ever.

    This is what i was going to say, but with lemon too with the salt.

    when I use cukes I will slice them and an onion thinly and put them in white vinegar and let them set for a couple of hours and then eat them. I also slice real thin and use on a sandwich.

    Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad...just had it for supper tonight with steak and sweet corn.

    a few cucumbers (peeled or not, your choice)
    a couple garden fresh tomatos
    1 chopped up avocado
    a few thin slices red onion
    zest and juice of a lime
    a few chopped up basil leaves (or parsley or cilantro)
    a few sprinkles of curry powder
    a few dashed of hot sauce (whatever you have on hand but I use sriracha)
    a few grinds of black pepper
    dash of sea salt

    Mix it all together and refrigerate for about 1/2 an hour before serving so all the flavors blend.

    - Another favorite is cucumber, bacon, avocado & hummus sandwiches on a really good whole grain bread. You can also add a nice thick slice of tomato or some lettuce. Sometimes in place of the hummus I make a homemade pesto mayo spread.
    Pesto Mayo is 2 parts pesto to one part mayo, mix it up and spread it on.

    -Cukes in Sour Cream w/ fresh dill- as simple as that, I add in a little black pepper and a splash of vinegar. Slice the cukes very thin, on a mandolin if you have one. You can make a really large batch of these as they keep pretty well. Great with burgers, salmon on the grill, grilled bbq'd chicken, you name it!

    Try using cucumber slices instead of crackers. My favorite toppings are goat cheese, palmetto cheese and hummus. I try to eat one perisian cucumber a day, small and sweet!

    I love cucumbers. I could eat them every day. In salads on toast. Just by themselves with a sprinkle of salt or Mrs Dash. YUM.

    4T sugar
    7T white vinegar

    2 cucumbers, seeded, then salted and squeezed
    Soak in the dressing for a couple of hours.

    Add bean sprouts and sesame seeds (a drizzle of sesame chili oil is also nice) to slightly strained cucumbers...

    I ran into this by accident packing up my lunch for work. I had some skinless chicken breasts that I marinated in italian dressing and then baked - ran outta time so I chunked them, put them in a tupperware container with the marinade and a couple cucumbers also chunked. It was FABULOUS - quick, easy, packs well for lunches.
