  • Sour Cream and Dill Cucumber Salad. Everyone needs a go-to recipe for summer cookouts and potlucks, and this fresh and creamy cucumber salad is absolutely the answer.
  • Chilled Lemon-Dill Cucumber Noodles. These extra-refreshing “noodles” are a wonderful bed for a piece of seared salmon or even some smoked salmon. If you don’t happen to have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to shave the cucumber into thin ribbons.
  • Spiced Cucumber Sticks with Chaat Masala. These spiced cucumber sticks are probably the most ubiquitous of all street foods in India. The spice mix, chaat masala, is a mixture of a slew of spices, including coriander, cumin, and fennel.
  • Cold Lentil Salad with Cucumbers and Olives. This salad is wonderful served with dollops of ricotta or crumbled feta, so feel free to use whichever one you prefer or happen to have in the fridge.

  • Cucumber-Peel Sandwich Spread. Instead of tossing the cucumber peels in the garbage, use them to make this ingenious spread. The peels are chopped and folded into softened cream cheese and Dijon mustard before chopped watercress and prosciutto are added to the mix.

  • In a small bowl add the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine and until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Add the cucumber and onion. Taste and adjust the ingredients to your liking.
  • All the cucumbers should be covered in the brine, if you have lots of cucumber or are making a big batch, make more brine.
  • Let the mixture rest in the fridge until you are ready to eat. The flavors develop over time, so an overnight soak is great but mine are normally gone by dinner.
