I am not sure if I have told you all of this or not, but I love gardening and have a large vegetable garden and 4 flower gardens here on our property. Anyway, this year I planted around a dozen cucumber plants and they have taken off like wildfire! Lucky for us, we love cucumbers but I am running out of ideas on how to use them all up!
So far….we have been tossing them into our veggie salads, making cucumber salad and I did can a few jars of homemade pickles using them. A few days ago I sliced some up and made a vegetable snack tray along with fresh broccoli, cauliflower, radishes and carrot sticks. (made a great homemade veggie dill dip to go along with them).
Anyway, I need some more ideas on what I can do with all of these cucumbers because as the season goes on…I will have even more of them! Help!!! I need some fresh ideas and/or some recipe suggestions from all of our fabulous TCC blog readers!
Please leave your suggestions & comments below in our blog’s comment form. They will be appreciated! Thanks!
Here is a recipe, Cut up two tomatoes, two cucumbers and two white onions and pour in a 1/2 cup of Italian dressing. It tastes so good! I have this salad often! Cucumbers are really healthy and my Dad loves them.
Cucumbers are full of liquid and I think they would be very good in smoothies or juiced. I shall continue to think of more ways to prepare cucmbers.
Great ideas ladies…thanks so much! I am going to try out several of those suggestions!
I don’t have the recipe, but a friend makes a wonderful cold cucumber soup.
Cucumbers are refreshing and healthy crunchy snack. Salads of cucumbers and opinions is a favorite of mine. You can also do cucumber and watermelon. Eat them with ranch or a chilled soup. Cucumber recipes for skin and hair products like masks and toners are also easy to do.
add cucumber to your guacomole, delis!
Chop up cucumbers, onion, and tomatoes and pour over a Italian salad or your own homemade vinegar dressing over them .let sit till flavors blend together. yummy
You could cut them in half lenthwise, scoop out the insides and stuff them with egg salad, etc.
