What are your favorite cucumber dishes? I love the taste, but they only really seem to work in certain applications.

On another note, >>8036160 from the yogurt thread got me looking in to ayran, and I've heard cucumber can be added, but I'm still not sure how.

That's how. Just make sure you use live-culture yogurt.

There's also a bunch of balkan salads that include cucumbers

These, called Feldgurke in Austria, are way better than the ones you posted.

Polish cucumber salad, aka mizeria. Cut cucumbers into thin slices. Salt, wait for 20 minutes, drain whilst pressing surplus water out. Make dressing with sour cream, lemon juice, lots of dill and a pinch of sugar and some ground black pepper. Delicious.

When they asked me why I killed him, I muttered softly "he said my okroshka tasted like horse piss."

Cucumber salad with sesame oil is the obvious one.

But I like to make cucumber noodles and have them with any kind of thin noodles, a light tomato sauce, and black rice vinegar.

Cucumber sandwiches are nice as well.

Balkaner here.
We usually grate the cucumbers, salt them and drain the excess fluid they release. Then we add plain yogurt, but not too much, shouldn't be liquid. My grandma also adds someminced garlic and mint inside. It's refreshing as fuck, ultimate summer salad.

Same, but with fresh crunchy garlic as well. Good.

Grab a good pickle, blender with sour cream and dill. Best dip for unflavored potato chips.

>> No.8039104

Use it in a good sandwich.

Ham, watercress, thinly sliced cucumber, dijon mustard, mayo on a nice bread roll or baguette.

I prefer a honey and pumpkin seed one that my local supermarket sells.
