Cucumber Ideas

Thank you to 2 members, both of whom sent ideas for using the bountiful amount of cucumbers we are receiving right now. If you have ideas for any of the items we are receiving, please send to me to share with the rest of the members at lindadansbury@comcast.net - please put Anchor Run in the subject line so I can find it.

Nancy Wasch sent the following note and recipe for savory breakfast cucumbers:

Cucumbers are a special treat for me, since I only eat them when they are very fresh - a supermarket cucumber is never appealing. With the abundance of cucumbers, I have been trying to come up with ways to use them all. This breakfast cucumber salad is addictive! Similar to your basic sour cream recipe, but substitute yogurt.

Savory Breakfast Cucumbers

1 cucumber
a few heaping scoops of yogurt - make sure it has some fat to get your protein-carb-fat balance
splash of cider vinegar
S&P to taste
chopped dill if available
optional - slivers of green onion

Thinly slice the cucumber (peel first if necessary). Toss with remaining ingredients. Refrigerate a half hour to integrate the flavors. If you just can't wait, go ahead and eat it without the wait - still delish.

Veen Huffnagle sent in a recipe for Cucumber Sushi Rolls that sounds really interesting. I am adding it to the website. Veen says "I made ours vegan and used the carrots, cucumbers and scallions from last weekend's pickup. I also used brown rice, rice wine vinegar, sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers."
