Up to my neck in cucumbers (recipes needed)

cucumber and tuna sandwiches

or the very British - cucumber sandwiches LOL

Thai salad with loads of cucumbers in it

That's all I can think of right now.

I like to make:

cucumber sandwhiches (I use sprouted bread-but any bread you have is good, and laughing cow cheese wedge)
Cucumber/cherry tomatos sprinkled with feta cheese make a yummy and crisp salad
tzatziki sauce (allrecipes.com has great recipes for this)

you can also make a cucumber sour cream dill salad served cold (I like to replace the sour cream with plain greek yogurt. Directions: peel and thinly slice the cucumbers, sprinkle gently with salt to taste and place in collander to drain. mix in a small bowl plain greek yogurt OR sour cream with fresh dill, minced garlic and onions and white pepper. once cucumers are drained add to the greek yogurt mixture and mix well. refridgerate for a few hours before eating it cold)

Tuna Cucumber Boats
-Tuna (flavored is better)
-Cucumber
-Celery
-Carrot
-Sunflower Seeds

Finely dice the carrots and celery. Mix with the tuna. Slice the cucumber lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Slice off a bit off the back so that it sits stable. Fill in the area where the seeds used to be with tuna. Sprinkle with seeds. (And cheese if desired.)


Quick Cucumber Salad
-Grape Tomatoes
-Cucumber
-Celery
-Carrots
-Italian Dressing

Dice the veggies, toss together with tomatoes and dressing. Serve cold.


Watermelon Cucumber Soup
-1 Medium Cucumber
-4 cups Watermelon, seedless, diced
-1 pkt Stevia in the Raw (or a pinch of sugar)
-1 tsp Lime Juice
-1/4 cup Half & Half Cream

Peel and deseed the cucumber. Chop the cucumber and place inside a food processor or blender. Add the watermelon, stevia, lime and cream. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Hope this helps!

One of my favorite salads is thinly sliced cukes, tossed with s/p, dill, a bit of minced garlic and some sour cream.

Also - Tzatziki (A Greek sauce/dip similar to the above recipe, but with yogurt and lemon instead of sour cream.) Don't have a recipe handy, but you can Google loads of them.

Sunomono salad (you know - the Japanese cucumber salad?)

I just snack on them plain mostly... they're good with hummus also.

OH - or with tomato wedges, olive oil, balsamic, feta and oregano. YUM!

Just saw this recipe for Tzatziki this morning on a food blog & it looked soooo good.

This is not a 'recipe'...but one of my FAVORITE ways to eat cucumbers...is to slice into half inch slices (the short way)...leaving the skin on (if its not bitter) and topping with Laughing Cow light cheese.....:) Sometimes I dip 'em, sometimes I get out a knife and actually 'spread' the cheese on the cuke....either way..simple and delish.

My ALL time favorite.... and I eat it as a snack!!!

Slice cucumbers, add lime juice, cayenne pepper and salt.... and eat!!!!!!!

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
