Cucumbers - How do you like them?

Vinegar and water. Soak them in 2 parts vinegar 1 part water. So Yummy!!!

I usually eat them with a dash of salt. When I was younger I used to eat them between two pieces of buttered bread as a sandwich. Not the healthiest choice, but a tasty one nonetheless.

I like them just sliced and squirt some lime or lemon juice all over them.. soo good!

before I became plagued by horrendous heartburn... my favorite thing in the world was sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and onions marinated and refrigerated for a bit. YUMM!

I dice them up, and squeeze lemons over them. Then I peel some of the lemon and dice it up and mix it together and sprinkle it all with salt! Normally I don't care for cucumbers very much, but I love them this way.

My mom used to marinade cucumber slices in lime juice and the eat them with a little bit of salt.
tasty

Sliced with lemon pepper.

i use them like a cracker - super delicious with chicken or tuna salad.

^love it w/ chicken salad.

Or I make my chicken salad with WAY too much cucumber in it, then put on a piece of wheat toast.

Marinated 24 hours with zesty Italian dressing, red onions, and feta cheese Oh man

i eat them for snacks at work all the time and i just eat them raw and sliced. sometimes i dip them in Laughing Cow Cheese wedges or these little goat cheese medallions that i get. YUM!

I second the vinegar ideas.

I also like them with balsamic vinegrette dressing - just a few spritzes will do it. If you want a complete meal make couscous and add craisins, cucumber (diced), and feta cheese. Spritz with balsamic vinegrette dressing - enough to darken the couscous a shade or two (taste as you go).

Or just put a bit of feta and vinegar on them.

Also milk dressing (weird sounding I know, but I swear this is fantastic. My grandmother used to make it for salads.) 1 T milk or low fat sour cream, dash salt, 1 T white vinegar, 1 tsp sugar (or splenda), dill (1-3 tsp depending on your taste.) This makes enough dressing to cover 1. 5 large cucumbers worth of slices.

Let cucumber sit in the dressing for 15 minutes for full flavor. Will keep over night in the fridge. (You might want to drain the cucumber for a minute first to keep the juice from thinning out the dressing too much.)

I like them as is, but sometimes will slice them and add a bit of vinegar and some salt a pepper. Simple, but yummy.

Ditto! I also like to put slices in my water... yum yum!

I love cuces as a dipping instrument for garlic hummus. Soooo good

I *love* cucumbers. They are a huge staple of what I eat. Here are a few things I like to do with them.

For breakfast, I make a greek omelet. Wilt a little bit of spinach in a pan, add scrambled egg, and then for the inside of the omelet, I use feta cheese, chopped cucumbers and black and/or kalamata olives (also chopped) mixed together and seasoned (I like to use some of or a combination of: garlic salt, celery salt, garlic powder, salt-free garlic and herb seasoning, italian seasoning mix, oregano). Sooooo good.

Sometimes, I'll just chopped up the cucumbers and mix it with a combination of those seasonings (maybe a little bit of vinegar, maybe not) and have just a bowl full of that for a snack.

I make all my own dressings when I make salad, and usually, cucumber is the main ingredient. I use either red wine or balsamic vinegar as the base, and then I'll use some of the water/oil from the olives (again, black and/or kalamata), plus a little bit of mustard (yellow or dijon) to thicken it up, seasonings (see above), and a raw clove or two of garlic, minced- whisked together. Sometimes, I like to use fresh herbs (rosemary, basil), and let it sit in the dressing to infuse it a little bit. I typically use the olives, tons of cucumber, and then some combination of tomatoes, celery, carrots, a slice or two of bacon (real if I'm being indulgent, Trader Joe's turkey bacon otherwise, lol- which I typically add hot to the dressing before the rest, again, to infuse it with the flavor), feta cheese, and then chopped up spinach and/or romaine. Sometimes, I add tuna. My salads take forever to make, between all the chopping of the ingredients, the making of the dressing, and the fact that I add things at different steps (olives + olive water + fresh herbs or non-salted seasonings + garlic first, then bacon, then mustard, whisked, the salt to the chopped cucumber on a separate plate, if I'm using balsamic, that gets added to the chopped tomatoes first and then the cucumbers and tomatoes get added, then the rest of the veggies, lettuce/spinach, then the feta, then tuna if I add it) and mixed at every point to distribute the dressing and the flavor, but it always comes out different (which is fun) and pretty amazing.

I also slice them thin and put them on sandwiches- and only one piece of bread for the sandwich.

Cucumber is awesome. I feel like I can't get through my day without it, lol.

Cut in half length ways, remove seeds, then slice into 8ths - then marinate in terayki sauce - yummy sprinkled on salmon!
