Cukes can also be braised/cooked just like any other vegetable. Best way is to just slice, put in a saute pan with some butter and/or olive oil, salt, pepper and dill.

Cover and cook over low heat until tender.

Slice really thin, salt well and let sit to pull a lot of the moisture out, then mix with rice wine vinegar, sugar, a little olive oil and thinly sliced red onion - it's a salad but maybe different from what you're doing.

Another thing is to do a quick pickle - here's one:

Answer 3

3/4 pound smoked salmon
8 ounces soft cream cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons heavy cream or half-and-half
2 English cucumbers
2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill

In food processor, chop up salmon into a paste. Add cream cheese, salt and pepper, and heavy cream to make a mixture loose enough to pipe out into cucumber boats. Peel cucumbers and halve lengthwise. Slice cucumbers into 2-inch lengths. Use melon baller to scoop out the cucumber to make into small boat-shapes. Spoon salmon mixture into pastry bag fitted with a star tip, and pipe mixture into each cucumber "boat." Garnish with fresh dill.

Answer 4

Cucumbers with sour cream and chives is excellent. Don't forget the salt and pepper.

Answer 5

Cucumbers and italian dressing is yummy....put some chopped tomatos and red onions in it and it's perfect...a small sized plate of it at a restaurant here charges about $5 for the same thing....try it out, it's yummy....or dip them in ranch dressing...that's what I do and it's good for you to boot!
