Cool as a Cucumber!

This is a simple recipe from my childhood. My stepfather always made this growing up. We ate this as a side dish, as an appetizer, at cookouts,...even as a topper for other foods! He usually only did "Cucumbers & Tomatoes in Italian Dressing" but when I started making it myself in my late 20s I started adding onion because I'm obsessed with them! 😆👌 Then, in my early 30s a good friend made this at her home with the addition of green peppers as she had grown a lot of them that year. So now, my personal recipe has adapted to the inclusion of all of these wonderful foods! I also, play around occasionally with the dressing. 😎👍 This particular time I used a raspberry vinaigrette in place of Italian Dressing & I have also used regular vinaigrettes as well. This is always a nice addition to dinner or the cookout. And even as a midday snack! 👏🤤

On a hot summer day me and my sister was thinking of whipping up a cold batch of margaritas. This was probably out of desperation since we were both evaporating from the heat. So I came up with this excellent concoction. I love how the mint leaves and the cucumber brings so much freshness to the drink and the pineapple gives that tangy sour note. The honey just gives it that slightly smoky and earthy sweetness. The smoothie just is like a sunny side beach resort in your mouth. So please try it and tell me what you think. Enjoy!

Makes a cool side dish for a hot day. Had a simple taste and its quick and easy.

Perfect for a hot summer's day.

I'm always trying to come up with easy yet yummy appetizers that can easily get tossed on the table with little effort but a lot of taste. These cucumber slices are simple but very tasty! My huge tray was emptied and I doubled the recipe.

Great for a summer barbecue to add a fresh Cucumber salad!

Cucumber salad

It’s my favorite salad recipe , there is no limit in adding your fav things in it .. don’t be crazy though 😂😭

The only thing i do differently on the recipe is i use one large seedless cucumber, around 12" and omit the tomatoes. Very tasty side dish, enjoy!

I adopted a recipe that I saw in a book about 10 years ago.※ If you can, use premade pickling spice to make authentic and spicy pickles. But if you cannot find it, use a mixture of 5 grains of black pepper corn, 1 red chili pepper, and 1 bay leaf.※ You can eat it on the first day, but it's best after 3 days. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

This refreshing cucumber salad is the perfect way to stay cool and enjoy a crunchy and tasty snack. It's grain free and it's made under under 9 minutes 😋 Not only is it a great appetizer and side dish, you can also adjust the rations to bring out the flavors that you like best !

Something cool and refreshing, it's feel like temperature here is over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.There is a Lebanese recipe similar.

Refreshing. :-)

Easy and simple. here in the Florida its very hot but these cool cucumbers are refreshing in the hot days here.

This is a great side dish for any entree, especially for deep-fried meat. It can balance the taste and bring comfort after eating a heavy seasoning cuisine. Enjoy~~*Welcome to visit "Note-a-licious" blog!https://note-a-licious.blogspot.com/FB: https://www.facebook.com/Note.a.licious

A light "chunky" side dish to compliment most grilled BBQ meals or serve with Italian dishes. The fresh basil gives it a nice flavor. Add a “hint of mint” (instead of basil) and black olives for a slight, cool refreshing taste, especially with Mediterranean dishes of lamb, grilled chorizo and/or seafood.

Another way how to make cucumber become a nice dish#mycookbook

Our local Thai place has a really nice cucumber salad that is very sweet. This is owr version of a cucumber salad that is not as sweet, with a pop of flavor from the pepper. We enjoy this during warmer months with various chicken or pork dishes. And now to find a decent peanut sauce recipe.... 🤔

This one goes out to Auntie Al. By the time you walk away, a party tray full of these refreshing appetizers will disappear. #america

Cucumber Sushi is essentially a cucumber roll-up filled with hummus,bell peppers, dill. The cucumber is crunchy and hydrating, and with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, each roll tastes the most refreshing snack you could ever have.#fiveingredients

A new recipe for the last cucumber leftover.

A taste of summer! Cucumber Salsa with a nice bite!

I was thinking that there should be something I could do with both sesame oil and garlic...Then I decided I wanted to try to make a yakiniku restaurant-style cucumber appetizer! That's how I came up with this dish.Don't use too much salt. The sugar is used to balance out the flavor so only a small amount should be fine. Don't cut the cucumber too thinly. The cucumbers taste better when they're cut into relatively large sizes. Recipe by Makitoin

Refreshing

Love refreshing mint and cucumber and love refreshing water melon and mint . The cheese is optional but the slight saltiness marries wonderfully with the sauce, melon and cucumber.
