Answer 3

simple cucumber sandwiches are yummy. just mayo on sandwich bread with slices of cucumber, and then a little salt and pepper.

then there is raita.... shred half a cucumber, then with the other half, use the little tiny grater that will make the cucumber like mush, but also bring out the juice of the cucumber. Keep it all, including the juice (this is for a cucumber that is about 5 inches long) in a large bowl. Add 2 cups of yoghurt (low fat is ok too). Then chop about 4-5 mint leaves and also a TBS or so of cilantro (also called coriander) and add to the yoghurt cucumber mix. Then add salt and freshly ground black pepper (freshly ground is the best) to taste.

raita is an Indian side dish you eat with biryani rice or curries, but I use it for non-indian dishes too. it cools your mouth if you eat spicy foods. I sometimes just mix it with white rice when I am lazy to cook.

I know u don't want a salad... but this one is simple and good. just have a the same amount of diced cucumbers and tomatoes. Then add some chopped onion. and you can also add soem chopped cilantro. add some olive oil, a few squeezes of fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. cover and leave in the fridge from at least one hour for the flavors to combine. its very good.
