    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.

    Its probably just me, but I love that the post is about cucumbers and your wearing a green dress in the profile pic. (I may have been up for to many hours).

    Sorry, no cucumber ideas here.

    1/2 c low fat cottage cheese
    1 tomato, diced
    1/4 cucumber, diced
    1/4 green pepper, diced

    Mix together; add seasoned pepper and garlic salt (optional). This is great with Trader Joe's Multigrain Crackers.

    I slice them thin with a cheese slicer and add a bit of vinegar (rice vinegar is good but it's got sugar, my mom always used that when I was a kid to get us to eat it. LOL) + dab of balsamic and some red pepper flakes + sea salt. Yum!

    Hollow out a 2 or 3 inch section so you have a "cup"
    fill with anything you'd like! Chicken salad, tuna salad, salsa, hummus, anything at all!
    Great party idea or lunch idea when you don't want a "sandwich"

    Cucumber Mango Salsa

    2 - 3 mango, peeled and diced.
    1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
    1 red onion, finely chopped
    1 clove garlic, minced
    2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
    1/4 cup chopped fresh Cilantro
    1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice (or to taste)
    Finely chopped Parsley (to taste)
    Freshly cracked pepper (to taste)
    Salt (to taste)

    Toss it all together and refrigerate. I find it tastes best sitting overnight but an hour or two should be fine. Tastes great on top of grilled chicken or with whole grain (low sodium) tortilla chips ..
