I really like cucumbers. I eat many of them a week. The low calorie count makes it a real winner.
I make a great salad using chopped cucumbers, chopped onion and chopped tomatoes. I dress it with fresh lemon juice, pepper and a little oregano and salt. That's it. It stays in the fridge nicely for quite a few days.
They're always a mainstay of any salad that I make.
Sometimes when I am feeling a bit munched,I just cut one up and eat it plain.
wow! I have a cucumber all ready to go---before I even knew the food of the week!
I simply chop mine into little wheels and LIGHTLY sprinkle with salt.
I also make a simple cucumber/tomato/red onion salad, dressed with lemon juice, S&P and minced garlic. Sometimes I'll add yellow or orange bell pepper too. Great on it's own, with falafel, or dumped over a heap of greens, yum!

Very similar to mine. I like the idea of adding peppers and garlic. I think I just might try that. No, I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks.
I like to make cucumber sandwiches. I just take some toasted whole wheat bread, slap some ff miracle whip or mustard on it, a slice of cheese, a 1/4 to 1/2 of a cuke and I'm good to go.

Bridgette.
I sometimes put cucumber slices into my pita sandwiches and I'll order cucumber on my subs from Subway.
I love cucumbers, too! I especially like the small persian or asian cucumbers and armenian cucumbers.
Recently I've started using the slicer on my cheese grater to slice them in thin strips and put them on sandwiches. My favorite is hummus, cucumber, turkey, avocado, and micro greens on whole wheat!
I also eat 3 oz of cucumber in my dinner salad almost every day.
Somewhere around here I have a recipe for stir-fried scallops and cucumbers that I keep meaning to try. I used to stir fry them with beef that that was great.
My SO absolutely will not eat cucumbers and I just don't understand it. How can you not like cucumbers?
I'm on the fence with cucumbers. They're ok, but I tend only to eat them in greek salad.
I bought some little round white ones at the farmer's market on Sunday and haven't yet figured out what to do with them. They look more like anemic tomatoes than cucumbers! I suppose they'll taste the same. Maybe we'll make a lovely greek salad with the heirloom tomatoes I bought and some fresh feta and kalamatas. Yum!
