YOU DON'T WANT TO TOSS CUCUMBERS IN YOUR SALAD.
Cucumbers are great in sushi and sandwiches.


But the best way (and fastest) is to slice cucumbers, and tomatoes up. Put into a bowl together mix with vingar. Then enjoy!


(Don't forget to add any spices you like to the cucumbers/tomatoes!)
not touching that one
thinly sliced cucumber, vermicelli noodles, vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame seeds...add ingredients to taste (it will be sweet and sour) THEN MIX them together. YUM!
How about tzatziki?





1 English Cucumber, yoghurt, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, parsley





Grate cucumber finely and allow to drain in


a colander.


Mix cucumber with 2-3 crushed cloves of garlic and yoghurt in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons


of olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley. Allow to chill for 3 hours. Serve as a dip or


condiment to fish or meat dishes. My favorite


dish is stuffed green peppers (Greek way) served with tzatziki on the side.





Another suggestion is to take a pita bread and fill it with falafel and tzatziki.
