Default Cucumber Help!

I have ended up with six English cucumbers! Does anyone have any idea how I can use them up? Pickles?

You could try one of these salads:

I'm also a big fan of homemade Tzatiki sauce, to use on wraps/sandwiches and stuff.

I know what to do with them but I have six of the suckers. I have a feeling they may end up as compost unless I eat two a day.

Slice in half long-ways, scoop out seeds with a spoon. Take cottage cheese and fresh herbs (dill, basil, cilantro, whatever!) and mix together. Spoon down the center of each half and it's a snack?

at Schmoo. Nope! I did Good Food Box today and ended up mis-managing trades. I might end up making freezer pickles out of these monsters. I did eat half of one with lunch.

Ruthie, haul out your dehydrator and make cucumber chips with them. They're wonderful sprinkled with a little olive oil and garlic powder before you dry them, and they're also pretty good with chili powder and garlic. Enjoy! (Burrrrrrrrrp! )

Oooh, great idea, Cottage! You've got me longing for a dehydrator again.

Oh my! What a great idea! I'll try not to slice off my finger on the mandolin this time. I have dried dill and some sea salt and will try different flavours.

Laurie Me too! too bad we don't live closer we could share one
Ruth Make Tzaziki sauce Greek Yogurt Garlic DIll (I'm allergic) and Cukes
But if you make the cukes chunky it would be moer salad than sauce
