I slice cucumbers, tomato and a little bit of red onion or green onion, drizzle with some olive oil, and your favorite vinegar then sprinkle with a bit of dried parsley, salt and pepper and refridgerate for atleast 30 min.
Enjoy!

This is exactly how I make them too. Delicious!
I will definitely be trying out some of the other ideas here.

I just had to click on your post.As I write this I am drinking a homemade cucumber drink. Peel one whole cucumber, cut it into chunks, blend on high in blender with water, sweeten to taste. One cucumber makes a gallon size pitcher. I use equal instead of sugar. This is the most thirst quenching drink. Your reaction is probably something like eww yucky. Give it a try you probably will like it. Let me know what you think. I also do the same thing with watermelon and cantaloupe.

Thinly sliced in yogurt with a bit of salt, dill, and vinegar.

Of course salads, and what everyone else mentioned, etc... but they are also great for juicing and have a neutral taste, so would also be great blended in smoothies.

Have you perhaps heard of tzatziki? If not, I suggest you look into it.

I use them instead of bread sometimes such a with tuna salad I put a bit in between two cucumber slices and make lil sandwiches .

Yes, I also use some laughing cow cheese and turkey deli meat. You might need to scoop some of the seeds out first. I eat them longways.

A place down the street makes this salad out of diced red onion, cucumbers, and tomatoes tossed in lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar and fresh mint. I imagine it would be incredible with some feta

Dice and mix with greek yogurt and lemon juice and salt. Add garlic powder if you like. Use as a dip or sandwich filling/spread.

Whenever we finish a jar of dill pickles, we save the jar and juice, slice cucumbers quite thin and put them in the pickle juice and put the jar back in the refrigerator. After only a couple of hours they are ready to eat. Very tasty. My teenage sons eat a whole jar at one sitting.

I do this too!

me too! Have you tried hollowing one out to make a "sub"? I love it! (and getting rid of the middle gets rid of the gas for me! :blushing: )

Dice them into chopped or pulled chicken breast with red onion and lite 3 cheese ranch. Eat it in a whole wheat pita.

cucumber, red onion,tomatoes,green pepper,and fat free olive oil dressing.

Slice everything thin place in a zip lock back and put in fridge for at least and hour. So yummy!

If its fat free, how can it have olive oil in it?

Wow! I have to try this... my daughter will empty a brand new pickle jar in a day!

I usually peel and remove the seeds from mine, then chop into pieces and coat with apple cider vinegar and milled flaxseed. Occasionally, if I have the calories, I'll add some olive oil.

TeaBea

Use peeled cucumber as a low calorie "filler." Cucumber is so mild you can add it to fresh fruit salad without changing the taste all that much.

BlueBombers

A little salt and pepper, vinegar and olive oil. Yum!

MizTerry

I like to add unpeeled cucumbers to my sub sandwiches.

Cucumber avocado soup. I used the recipe below, left out the pomegranate seeds and added 1-2 avocados. A.ma.zing.

Try grating it and throwing it in your spaghetti sauce...
