Cucumbers – Five of the Best Ways to Use It

And summer time means that we are overrun with them!  Yum.  Here are five of my favorite cucumber recipes for you to enjoy the summer bounty.

Cucumber Salsa

Salsa is so versatile!  And adding cucumber is absolutely a great way to cool things down.  Put this on chips, use it as dressing, toss it with pasta, put it on fish, chicken, lamb – the possibilities are endless.

Easy Gazpacho

Oh my!  This is so delicious!  A cool soup on a hot summer day – honestly, you will eat this all summer long.

Grilled Fish with Black Bean Salsa

I came up with this idea after the salsa in the first recipe.  Use any fish, whatever veggies you have lying around, sweet onion and lots of cilantro.

Grilled Lamb Souvlaki

Cucumber everywhere!  In the tzatziki, in the cuke salad – this is so good, you can’t believe it.

Guacukeamole

I adore guacamole!  Adding cucumber was so obvious.  Just wonderful.
