If you like spicy food, I make a very good cucumber asian type soup.
You peel and cut the cucs lengthwise into strips. In a bowl, you add some apple cidar vinegar, soy sauce, a little bit of jalepeno or serrano pepper, cut up in very small pieces, and that red chili paste sauce (comes in a jar and is kind of reddish-orange-ish). Toss in a little bit of chili powder. Add in a little bit of cut up tomato and let marinade in the fridge a little bit. Eat cold. Very good with sticky rice. You just have to experiment with the chili paste/pepper because it can get wickedly spicy hot but it is oh so good if you like spicy!
Sounds like cucumber kimchi, I'm actually going to try your recipe! I'm kind of addicted to red pepper paste .0 -

Pitas
Chicken (marinated in a bit of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic & oregano)

I love cucumber sandwiches!! Spread some low fat cream cheese on two slices of toasted ww bread, and load up the sandwich with sliced cucumbers! I like to cut the crusts off too and cut into triangles, reminds me of tea and toasts. )
Another is a cucumber salad - slice cucumbers in a bowl, add sliced red onion, a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and chopped fresh dill and let it ferment for a few hours. Very refreshing and super low calorie. You could also throw in some halved cherry tomatoes.0 -

use fat free sour cream, sweetener, salt &pepper, vinegar and dill to taste for a dressing . Thinnly slice the cucumbers and some onion. Let the water bleed off the cucumbers for a few hours or it will water down the salad. Put sliced cucumbers and onion in a bowl add dressing to soak. MMM good0

I cut cucumbers into thin slices and eat them in place of potato chips with a sandwich. I was eating baked chips, and then I realized I could cut out about 120 calories by eating cucumbers instead. Plus the cukes are much healthier than the baked chips. I eat them with a little hummus, and it is wonderful! I like Tribe Organic hummus because Costco has it in individual servings so I don't eat the whole bowl!0
