Doc Nelson #19958 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I enjoy that too but if a cucumber tastes like watermelon you aint been eating real melons. Find a grower nearby and eat a vine ripened one. Doc Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Love some cukes, but like them best sliced thin and put in water, apple cider vinegar, sugar and salt, along with some sliced thin onions. Best to allow them to soak at least 24 hours. Mighty tasty side dish that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Peel 'em, slice on the largest setting on an Oxo handheld mandolin, add a little salt, a little Truvia sugar replacement, and a healthy dose of rice vinegar or cider vinegar, plus a few drops of toasted sesame oil. Toss, toss, mix, mix. Other option is peeling it and eating it like a banana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 My wife loves Armenian cucumbers. No need to peel them. She chops them up and puts them in a bowl with seasoned rice vinegar. A little salt and pepper. Sometimes with ripe tomatoes from our garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Old Man Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 My daughter makes good refrigerated pickles. Onionos, cukes and I think sugar and vinegar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 My wife uses her Latvian grandmother's recipe - peel, slice and submerge in sour cream, salt and dill. Longer is better, but overnight works fine. Refrigerate. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I love Thai Cucumber Salad. Give it a try. Thai Cucumber Salad · 2 cucumbers peeled, halved lengthwise and sliced 3/8” thick · 35g/1¼ oz caster sugar (can use granulated) · 50ml/2fl oz rice vinegar · 1 hot chili, finely diced · 2 shallots, finely diced · 2 Tbs. chopped cilantro leaves · 40g/1½ oz roasted peanuts, chopped · ½ Tbs. Nam Pla (fish sauce) Mix all ingredients well except cucumbers. Add cucumbers and serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 If we're getting into salads: GREEK SALAD Cucumbers, peeled, quartered (optional seeded), and chopped. Tomatoes, cut into bite sized chunks. Feta Cheese, cut in about 3/8 to 1/2 inch dice. Kalamata Olives. Dress with salt, oregano, olive oil (this is the time to pull out that expensive extra virgin olive oil, I like the green peppery stuff, but the yellow buttery oil is nice too), and lemon juice and/or red wine vinegar (I prefer lemon juice). Make sure that you have some good bread to sop up the juice from the bottom of the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I substitute apple cider vinegar with rice vinegar. 11 hours ago, Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life said: My stomach rebels when I eat them! I used to love cucumbers, but for some reason now when I eat them they don’t agree with me. I am not sure why. It’s a shame because I used to eat them all the time. I would cut them into spears add a little salt and they were so good. Now, I just can’t. My guts get knotted up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
