Just inherited a bunch of cucumbers from a friend’s garden. I love them just on their own with some salt, and have made many a salad using them. I’m curious what kinds of fun things you all may use them for. Even if you feel like it’s basic please share as I will be eating cucumbers for the next several days straight lol. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

        I, too, like to scare cats with cucumbers.

        That’s what we’re talking about, right?

          I have tried that so many times with different cats and it does not work. None of them care.

          I think maybe you have to be in a country that has snakes?

      A basic cucumber salad with some onion, tomato and vinegar dressing is always great.

      This is my go-to summer salad! Chunks of tomato and cucumber with thin-sliced shallot or red onion, salt and let sit for ~20 minutes to release some liquid, drain and add chopped avocado and your favorite canned bean (I like cannellini), dress with black pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
