My friend brought me a bag of about 20 cucumbers! What can I do with them? I have peeled and sliced them and put them in oil and vinegar but what else can I do before they go bad? I appreciate all suggestions.

Cucumbers can be mixed with your fresh veggie salad. You may want to try them in your skin. It's a good skin regimen at night. When making it a finger food dipped in vinegar be sure to remove the seeds as these are not healthy to eat.

Hi, TrvArrngr. You can make a vegetable or meat salad with them. You can slice them up and add some salt and pepper to it too. You could also try making a stir fry with them as well. Here are a few links to some recipe ideas that you can make when you use your 20 cucumbers. One if for regular cooking and the other one is for just using cucumbers into a salad. I hope that this will help you in deciding on a delicious recipe. Enjoy! http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes_menus/collections/healthy_cucumber_recipes http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,cucumber_salad,FF.html

I put cucumbers in my macaroni salad or in my regular salad. I also eat them just like that because they are so refreshing. I believe you can also use them for a facial. You could probably look it up online for a facial using cucumbers.

A vegetable salad with boiled egg and mayonaise. You can use it for your skin and for your eyes if you do have eyebags.

Cucumbers can be mixed with your fresh green veggie salad. You may want to try them and it's also a good skin regimen. You may want to try it before your sleep at night. When making it a finger food dipped in vinegar be sure to remove the seeds as these are not healthy.

Slice them, lightly salt them, dip them in beaten egg then in flour and fry quickly in hot oil. Eat while they're hot. They don't reheat well, so don't make more than you will eat at one time. Cucumbers, if they're fresh, should keep in the refrigerator for well over a week, so you don't have to eat them all at one time.

Hi, I just stir-fried cucumber for my son as his lunch dish this afternoon. Both me and my son love to eat cucumber,either cooked or raw. Pls refer to the below link for some cooking recipe using cucumber: http://www.recipe-ideas.co.uk/cucumber-recipes.htm I guess this link might give you better picture on your cucumber menu. For me,i will cook cucumber in several ways : 1. Preserved cucumber : peel the skin off and sliced thinly,put sugar,vinegar,sliced chilly and put in the fridge overnight. 2. Stir-fried cucumber - you can always add some mushroom,chicken meat,fish meat or other ingredients that you like. 3. make a sandwich with cucumber. 4. just eat them raw as a snack. Happy cooking !
