The best Cucumber Recipes to make this summer (or year round!)
Cucumbers are so versatile and this recipe collection really lets their versatility shine! We have condiments using cucumbers, main dishes with cucumbers, cucumber salads and even cocktails!
We eat a lot of cucumbers at our house, we love them! We either get them from our CSA, our local farmer's market or the grocery store.
We have them all summer long during cucumber season, but we also enjoy the hot house cucumbers you can now get easily at the grocery store all year long!
This collection of recipes covers everything from condiments to cocktails!
Cucumber condiment recipes
Of course, when you think of cucumbers you think of pickles! Well, we have you covered!
We have quick pickles like Spicy Quick Cucumber Pickles, Refrigerator Bread and Butter Pickles and even Freezer Bread and Butter Pickles.
If you love canning and preserving we have fermented pickles like Half Sour Pickles and Hungarian Summer Pickles.
Dill pickle lover? Then you are going to love our Simply Good Dill Pickles! These are seriously the best dill pickles you will ever eat!
Did you know that cucumbers are actually a fruit? They are!
Which is probably why they pair so well with fruits! Try this Fruit Salsa and tell me how good it is!
Main dishes with cucumbers
Cucumbers bring so much to the table even in main dishes!
They are part of a healthy bowl recipe in our Salmon with Ginger Quinoa.
They add just the right crunch to Spicy Thai Fried Rice and they make the perfect accompaniment in Sweet Chile and Lime Chicken.
Salads with cucumbers.
It's no surprise that our biggest group of recipes using cucumbers is salads!
Two salads that we enjoy year round are a bright beautiful green salad Apple Avocado and Mint Salad and this Chicken with Cucumbers and Peppers.
This Cucumber Dill Salad is a go to for picnics and BBQ's.
Mediterranean recipes are where cucumbers can really shine! They pair so beautifully with all the flavors of the Mediterranean.
If you're looking for a hearty grain salad, this Bulgur Salad is just the thing. Pasta lovers will love this Greek Orzo Salad.
And, if you love Greek salads, we have you covered with a Kale Greek Salad and a Greek Salad with Lettuce.
Cucumber Cocktail Recipes.
Cucumbers and cocktails? Yes, please!
We start out with a Spicy Cucumber Infused Gin that is so light and refreshing! You can use in any gin cocktail.
We, of course used it in a Spicy Cucumber Martini to really let it's flavors shine!
