Cucumbers are one of my favorite vegetables. They are most always available, come in a variety of types, easy to add to salads and sandwiches, and are high in water. At 96% water, cucumbers are a great way to help with hydration and add crunch to dishes. English cucumbers (the long skinny ones usually wrapped in plastic) have small seeds making them a go to for cucumber chips and sandwiches. They are also available year round. Here are a few of my favorite uses for the humble cucumber:

  1. Put cucumber chips and citrus in your water for a spa-like subtle flavor. See the recipe here.
  2. Use cucumber slices for dips such as salsa or hummus.
  3. Add chopped cucumbers to yogurt for a savory yogurt dish. Check out the recipe here.
  4. Slice pickling cucumbers (the small bumpy ones) into ½ water ½ cider vinegar. Place ice cubes on top when serving.
  5. Use cucumber slices in sandwiches instead of or in addition to lettuce.
  6. Made a Yogurt Cucumber Sauce for topping grain bowls or used as a dip.
  7. Use cucumbers in salads such as Kachumber Salad, Cucumber Avocado Salad, Kim Chi-Inspired Cucumber Salad.
  8. A family favorite – don’t miss this one Apple Cucumber Slaw.
