Vickys Cucumber Salad Cups with Filling/Dip Options

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! 👏🤤

#porunmundomejor #menosde15minutos #recetasparanovatos Con tanta lluvia y el clima tan benigno que hemos tenido, mi jardín de hierbas está convirtiéndose en maleza, todas las plantas están enormes. Hoy decidí aprovechar las hojas de menta para una rica y nutritiva ensalada de pepino, que está baratísimo, en plena temporada. Si no consigues menta, puedes usar hierbabuena. #saludable #cuidatusalud #DASH

Two Salad dressings made from fresh young cucumber, one creamy with fresh mayonnaise, one tangy with fresh greek yoghurt. These are quick and refreshing in summer. And easy to make.#GlobalCookpadGames2024

I'm sharing another pickled cucumber recipe, which is also easy and quick to make. As long as you have all the ingredients at home, you can prepare this dish in half an hour. You can serve this dish after marinating it for 30 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the more flavorful it'll get. Make sure you keep the pickled cucumber in the refrigerator. And I recommend finishing it within 5 days. This pickled cucumber can be served as an appetizer or a side with any meaty or hearty dish. The refreshing and crunchy cucumber will cut right through the grease. Instruction video (https://youtu.be/TYnfn6JIJew)

Eating these always make me nostalgic for school lunches. It's an easy, relatively simple sandwich but I have never seen this anywhere else so I posted this recipe. My sister, who went to the same school, says 'I don't remember this.' I wonder why. A lot of people seem to like it anyway!The cucumber is prepared with salt, so don't use too much mayonnaise. When I was an elementary school student, I used to think that the mustard in mine was too strong so you might not need any mustard for your children's sandwiches. I think these are easier to eat than regular egg and sliced cucumber sandwiches. For 1 serving. Recipe by 明日見

This has become a go-to for weekly meal prepping. It's such a simple, but tasty recipe and adds a lot of freshness to a meal. I usually pair it with some quinoa or brown rice, some chicken or drained and rinsed chickpeas and some feta cheese. If you'd like to take some of the 'bite' out of the raw onion, soak it in some cold water for a few minutes first.

I was looking for something to go with a steak dish I was trying, called Japanese Steak Rice Bowl. (Japanese Style Steak Rice Bowl https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/4643016-japanese-style-steak-rice-bowl ) This Korean cucumber salad looked like it might fit the bill. It was perfect, really added a nice offset to the slightly sweet sauce on the steak. Now to be fair, I'm not a huge fan of cucumbers, it's a take or leave it kind of thing. But I tell you what, this thinly sliced English cucumber, in this light pickle was perfection. I used a medium hot red pepper powder, and it was not spicy. The flavors were fresh and just happen to be perfect with the steak. Without the lime juice, it had a very slight acidic taste, if you want it a tad more, use the lime/lemon juice also.

I built this cold tuna luncheon salad on a base of sour cream, mixed with green apple and green vegetables. I made Smetana sour cream , which is creamier, worth making at home when you have time, otherwise store bought fresh sour cream works well too.More refreshing than mayonaise based salads. Make small portions, spoils quickly.#GlobalApron

I'm usually not a big fan of #chickensalad as I am not a big chicken eater as it is. I prefer tuna. 🤷🏻‍♀️👌 However, this was all I had, but it turned out super yummy and I ended up snacking on it for a few days! 😆👍🤤😉 #chickensaladdip #saltines

A German side dish or salad that often gets overlooked, but makes for a great accompaniment to most German meals. A great side too with grilled meats, especially with brats and chicken. It's very popular when “cukes” are in season / garden harvested, but year-round enjoyment when store bought should also be considered.

This came to me when I was nibbling on a cucumber after taking a bath, because I didn't have any dessert on hand.Just chill it very well in the refrigerator!!Slice the cucumbers very thinly.Use whatever ponzu sauce you like, but I recommend one that has yuzu in it. It's really good.If you are using regular ponzu sauce, you may want to add a little sugar. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ponzu shokunin nao

This is the recipe that is the basis for "Chicken Tender and Cucumber Shira-ae with Umeboshi Flavor". I didn't think it was worth posting as a separate recipe, but putting it in one recipe made it too long so I separated the recipe.I used honey marinated umeboshi that weigh about 15 g with the pits (the same ones I used forto make "Chicken Tender and Cucumber Shira-ae with Umeboshi Flavor"). Adjust the amount to your taste.This is delicious with the addition of julienned green shiso leaves mixed in or topped as a garnish. Recipe by Sabumochi

We are given a lot of cucumbers every year. I have tried different recipes to use them up.Even my meat-lover husband likes this dish. When I serve this dish as a starter it is filling, so he doesn't have to eat too much later.This salad is very satisfying. You won't feel hungry when you are on a diet.It's also good with beer.＊Pour the meat sauce just before serving. Otherwise the salad will be watery.＊Adjust the spiciness according to your taste.＊I used large cucumbers in this recipe. If you use small ones use about three... Recipe by putimiko.

Chinese Tofu Sheets and Cucumber Salad is one of those dishes that always disappears first at gatherings. It’s got the perfect balance—spicy, savory, sweet, and tangy. What really makes it special is that unique tofu sheet.They’re an amazing vegetarian ingredient made from soybeans—low in fat, loaded with protein, and rich in calcium and iron. Enjoy!

I had 2 cucumbers left from some I'd bought on sale, so I decided to make a salad with them using ingredients I had in the refrigerator that could be served with rice. I don't like spicy food, and neither do my kids, but we all love this salad.If you shabu-shabu the pork in the boiling water it will get tough, so turn the heat off before shabu-shabu (waving it around) in the hot water. For 4 servings. Recipe by Chisora

This is a great Halloween or kids party side and you can make it as long as you need to serve all your guests!

Hello everyone, The other day I was chatting with a really sweet new blogger friend, in regards to recipes with Courgettes/Zucchinis. She mentioned that her garden is filled with Courgettes, and besides soups she really didn’t know what else to do with them. So, because I know she is a very busy bee, I am posting another recipe that I think she will enjoy, as I hope you will too. 🙂This appetizer goes great with the famous Tzaziki Dip, which I think or I am sure most know of, so to accompany this absolutely delicious Courgette dish, I made the traditional Tzatziki dip. This dip recipe varies from region to region in Greece, others add dill, other add capers, personally the taste is the same as long as there is cucumber, olive oil, and garlic it’s Tzaziki.The drinks that usually accompany these types of appetizers is Ouzo or Tsipouro, but again it could be beer, (I don’t drink Ouzo or Tsipouro…I am more of a wine person 🙂 ) it all comes down to what you enjoy drinking. 🙂

A lovely fresh summer dish full of goodness! Aduki beans may be labelled as Adzuki or Azuki beans or Oriental Red Beans. I used Essential Organics brand. They come tinned or dry. If using dry you need to soak them overnight before using. They're quite sweet and great in salads. In Asia they're mashed and used as filling for dessert dumplings. If you can't find them in you local shop you can use kidney beans in place of them

Para esta ensalada utilizo pepino europeo o persa, porque además de verse más bonita, casi no tienen semillas y la cáscara es muy delgada. Puedes usar del pepino de cáscara gruesa pero hay que pelarlo o sólo dejarle tiras, y quitarle las semillas si no te gustan. #saludable #DASH

A quick and easy dip with a tangy kick from the cocktail sauce. This was a recipe given to me years ago by a friend with the same great name. It's excellent and I must thank him for it. So thanks Jason.

I love cucumber salad but the full fat mayo version has too many calories. So I've created one that uses lighter ingredients but the taste isn't compromised. This is my "go to" side dish for so many meals now made with less guilt!

I made this because I love having fried onions and chips with delicious sour cream dip.-Drain the yoghurt as much or as little as you'd like to adjust the texture of the dip to your liking.-For the stir fried onions, you can also use commercially sold fried onions softened in a little bit of water (It's easier this way). For a quantity that is easy to make. Recipe by pogue

I've used cashews in place of the egg and oil than would normally be in a Caesar dressing and nutritional yeast instead of parmesan cheese to make this 'Jack friendly' for his sandwiches. It becomes much thicker as it stands so if you need to, thin it down with some extra water but you may need to adjust the other ingredients so the flavour doesn't get watered down too

This recipe is quick. Like, stupid quick. The first time I made it, my wife, daughter and I were on our way to a neighbour's house for dinner. Not wanting to arrive empty-handed, I decided to whip up a quick salad. I was able to do so in the time it took for my daughter to find her coat and boots and put them on. She dawdles, so it was about 5 minutes. To help with the mood, I put on Vivaldi's Winter, a.k.a the Chef's Table theme (yes, it's on my playlist). I have an almost Pavlovian response to that piece of music, which basically turns me into the Roadrunner from the old Looney Tunes cartoons. Anyway, despite the rushed prep, the salad was a hit. So here it is. For safety's sake, I padded out the cook time a bit.

Perfect to add a little bit of each salsa/dip/vinaigrette to quinoa, tacos, rice, or tortillas for fajitas

I made these for my family, and they loved it.

° Quadruple this recipe for barbecues, picinics or parties.° Once chilled, this dip stands up very firm. With that, it's perfect for dipping hard vegetables and sturdy crackers in - and even molding. But, if you're wanting a creamier version for spreading on soft breads - just add 1/4 cup [- or +] additional sour cream.° Feel free to get creative with this recipe. In the past, I've added everything from Ranch Dressing packets to various seafoods.

The perfect quick meal when I don’t feel like cooking but I’m really craving noodles.

This came about because I wanted to make tuna melt lettece wraps but needed a way to make them to eat as soon as the hot tuna and cheese was scooped in the lettece cup so it would keep the lettece crisp for everone. This worked out so well that the next time I made it I added various dipping items and crackers and rolls so everone was happy. This makes an easy fun lunch or appetizer!
