Turn them into pickles

What kind of salads? They go great in something traditional with greens and tomatoes and whatnot, but there are some asian cucumber salads with soy sauce and sesame oil that are great, and they go awesome with like red onion, quartered cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.

A refreshing summer snack is a couple of sliced cucumbers along with a halved and sliced sweet onion. Toss them in a sealable tupperware container with a good pinch of salt, a cup of white vinegar, and pack the rest of it with ice. By the time the ice melts it'll have tamed down the vinegar and the salt and vinegar will have quick pickled the cukes and onions. It's a great side or just snacking item when you've come in from a hot afternoon and have been sweating.

I also like them quartered and sprinkled with celery salt, or even dipped in hummus. If you're feeling ambitious, you could pop your gazpacho cherry.

salt, pepper, some kind of light vinegar. (rice or white wine) put in fridge for 30 min and you got a crunchy/refreshing snack.

You can eat them

>>16242519
eat them, put them in your butt, scare cats with them

They're good in a vinaigrette salad

Put em on your eyes and pretend you're at a spa

found 2 things for cucumbers:
>diced on gyros
>in salads

>>16242519
eat it raw or stick it inside your ass
or maybe both, idk

My wife is mexican and her family eats raw cucumber with lemon juice and salt and it's actually really good like that. Cut some angles into the cucumber and squirt the lemon juuce then sprinkle salt. I ate a whole cucumber like that because it was just that good.

You can grate them, add to some mashed melons, olive oil, coriandre, a bit of salt and pepper and call it a cold soupe kinda thing.
You can make paper thin slices lengthwise and use that to roll whatever you feel like into finger food - I think crab salad works well for that.
You can keep a carafe of water in the fridge with some slices of cucumber with lemon wedges and mint leafs, makes for a nice treat when you need to quench your thirst
I like to cut a lebanese cucumber in half, then make 4 cuts through the centre lengthwise that stop 1" from the end of the tip, if that makes any sense. Kinda like a broom head, with 8 strands. Drop your cut cucumber in water and after a little while, the strands will have absorbed a bit of water and opened up, looking like a cute octopus

It's good on sandwiches together with ham or salami

Anything with cucumber is automatically a salad.

I love to cut them into pieces and eat them like crunchy, watery nature chips.

>>16242519
I literally just put salt and pepper on the slices and eat them. Easy and refreshing.

put them on your eyes or put them up your butt or both

>>16242519
Slice it medium thickness and throw it into a bowl of white vinegar along with thinly sliced white or red onion.

>>16242519
I break a piece of it, wash it and eat it.

Slice thin, slice a vidalia onion thin, put on thin bread with cream cheese, a little salt and pepper. Very good.

Remove the skin, core it, sprinkle with salt and let it drain for ~20min. Rinse it, add sour cream, a bit of garlic and chives.

you don't fuck with perfection.

Pepper seems a bit strange but I'll try it next time I pick up a few cucumbers. I used to do salt but then a Mexican dude told me of the wonders of fresh lime juice.

>>16242825
>My wife is mexican
Sorry to hear that man. Keep on grinding

>>16242519
Shove it up your lubed ass you cum guzzling faggot.

Grate it for tziki sauce and mix the resulting juices with gin for a nice refreshing drink

>>16242573
Basic salad I liked was cukes, diced onion, avocado, tomato. Olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper.
I also keep reposting all the raw vegs Mexican style: lime, salt, hot sauce, optional tajin on bean sprouts, jicama, radishes, and pic related.

The slice-and-vinegar bro’s are right. I like to use apple cider vinegar and probably too mush salt

grind it up in a blender with some fruit. I noticed a definite visible improvement in my skin after doing this, and i only did it for like 3 days

you can put one in water and drink it afterwards

dipping sticks

i bought that brand of canned mung bean sprouts
it was absolutely vile, ill stick with fresh.

>>16242519
>What can you do with cucumber?

Sliced cucumbers with sour cream.

Take a pita and heat it up. Cover it with hummus and sliced cucumber. Eat.

>>16242519
You can make Benedictine spread for crackers and toast.

Everything in this thread so far is good advice but another option is to blend one with some water and maybe a bit of lemon juice. Or if you have a juicer just use that.

Turkish shepherd's salad (needs Aleppo pepper). Google it.

Dead easy, fairly cheap in season, delicious starter.

Protip: peel, deseed and cut in brunoise, salt fairly heavily and put in a sieve overnight in the fridge. Give it a thorough wash the next day.

Raita is another good basic dish you can do all sorts with.

Cucumber juice, gazpacho, granité.

Deseeded and filled with minced meat, topped with cheese and grilled.
