I had a great cucumber Thai salad once at a ...yes Thai restaurant. It was simple a bit spicy and sweet (I'm sure there can be substitutes for the sugar. You'd have to google Thai cucumber salad.0

Cucumber mint water!
Slice up the cucumbers and throw in some mint leaves with water in the biggest jar you own and refrigerate! You'll have cold cucumber mint flavoured water to drink all day long!
^^^^^This...I made something like this today. I didn't have mint so I just used lemon and cucumber. I also heard you can put ginger root in it as well and or lemon.
Cucumber water is amazingly good and I can't stop drinking it.
i did this 2 days ago ... cucumber water really is AMAZING i dont know why .. its addicting0 -
Cucumber, Hard boiled eggs, peas, scallion, light mayo, salt and pepper, dash of olive oil. Makes a super yummy salad.
Make homemade tomato soup, stewed tomatos, use them cut up in homemade macaroni and cheese.0 -
I haven't looked through the comments - so I don't know if someone suggested this already.
You could make a pico de gallo or a ceviche with the tomatoes and cucumbers - so double whammy.
You dice up cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, a jalapeno, add some cilantro, garlic and lime juice - and boom, you have a good pico (you can make it like you like it so obviously no exact numbers).
If you add some shrimp to that - you have a ceviche. I like to eat that plain and can eat it for days, or add it like a salsa to salads or on actual mexican food, or with chips, etc.
But those are both an AWESOME use of cucumbers and tomatoes.0 -
If you have a juicer you can make cucumber lemonade. It is fantastic. 6-8 cucs, 2-4 lemons, add a little water and sugar or other sweetener to taste.0

Spicy cold cucumber soup
de-seed cucumber
cut cucumber into little bigger than matchstick size
crush 1 garlic (2 if you really like garlic)
sesame oil, just enough to coat lightly
sesame seeds
crushed red peppers - use a good hefty tablespoon
rice vinegar - couple tablespoons
mix well, let it hang for a few minutes - if you really need sugar, add a little at this point
add water, mix well - I eat with a little rice
This looks delish!
I love the neutral and cooling flavor of cucumber and my coop I'm buying the bumper crop that's come in.
I'd read that you're not supposed to eat melon with other stuff, BUT, I make this smoothie anyway and have not had digestive upset.
In a blender:
1 cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped
2 cups honeydew melon, or more to taste
a few sprigs of fresh mint
1 cup coconut water
ice cubes
Blend! Delish!0 -
Make a cucumber and Havarti salad!0

Yes!
Something else. You can use the seeded part of the cucumber (if you slice into 4's lengthwise and run a knife through the middle) as part of your salad dressing before chopping the rest of the cucumber into your salad.0 -
Or
Gin, Tonic, Ice, big tall glass, big slice of cucumber. BE- UTE - A - FUL0 -
