English Cucumbers

I have never really liked the taste of cucumbers, they are kind of bitter which does not make them good candidates for salad in my own personal opinion. Plus they tend to get watery after you cut them. Maybe you could slice them and place them over your eyes as a beauty treatment to refresh yourself and remove eyebags!

Try this recipie.... Cucumber-Mango Salsa 3 mangos - peeled, seeded and diced 1 cucumber - peeled, seeded, and diced 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped 1 large onion, finely diced 1 clove garlic, minced 10 g chopped fresh cilantro 15 ml lime juice, or to taste salt and pepper to taste Stir together the mango, cucumber, jalapeno pepper, onion, garlic, and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Season with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend. Enjoy!

Mix apple cider vinegar half and half with water and pour over cucumber slices in a covered container. Add salt and a little pepper without stirring and let it set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. It keeps for several days. I love them this way.

One of my favorite things to do with cucumber is to add it to water. You know, kind of like adding lemon to water? It's just as good, but different. Crisp, cool, and very refreshing. It's also nice if you add a little sprig of fresh mint, but just cucumber will do me any day. Cucumber also pairs really nicely with avocado and crab - think California rolls. It's a good addition to just about any sandwich - they're not just for tea sandwiches! They make a nice salad, too, with some celery and tomatoes, onion and dill. Throw it into some gazpacho on a hot day. Or cucumber soup, with the cucumbers, onions, celery, and cream - you can serve it warm or cold, and it's always delicious. Or give yourself a quick facial. ;)

to be honest there is not much else you can do with them really, you could make a cucumber and mint dip, or cucumnber sandwiches and invite the queen lol cucumbers are really just for that purpose, slice and have on a nice salad or sandwich.
