10 COOL CUCUMBER RECIPES TO MAKE RIGHT NOW | KITCHN

Estimated Reading Time 4 mins
  • Greek Cucumber Salad from Little Broken. This salad combines crunchy cucumber and red onion slices with a tangy Greek yogurt and lemon dressing. The flavors mellow a bit as the salad sits, so it’s a great make-ahead option.
  • The Easiest Tangy Cucumber Salad. When you want cucumbers to play a starring role, ditch the lettuce and make this salad instead. Thinly sliced cucumbers are tossed in a simple apple cider vinaigrette and finished with fresh chives for an irresistibly tangy side dish.
  • Radish and Cucumber Salad with Garlic-Yogurt Dressing from Diethood. Not only do the sliced radishes lend extra crunch here, but they also bring their signature sharp bite, which is a nice contrast to the tame cucumbers.
  • Chilled Lemon-Dill Cucumber Noodles. Pull out your spiralizer and make these cucumber “noodles” the next time it’s too hot to cook! Dressed in a light lemon-dill vinaigrette and paired with some cooked salmon or chicken, this is the perfect summer lunch.
  • Cucumber Mint Green Tea Popsicles from Cake Over Steak. If you’re looking for a refreshing way to beat the heat, these ice pops will do the trick. With green tea, lime juice, and a mint simple syrup, these cucumber Popsicles are like a spa for your tastebuds.
  • Cucumber Gin & Tonic Pitcher Cocktail. When you’re hosting this summer, you want to relax with your friends instead of playing bartender all night, right?
  • Asian Cucumber Salad from Two Peas and Their Pod. Crunchy cucumber slices are tossed with a mixture of rice wine vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, cilantro, scallions, garlic, and ginger in this flavor-packed salad.
  • Cucumber Peel Sandwich Spread. If you embrace a no-waste philosophy in the kitchen, you’ll love this ingenious recipe. When a recipe calls for peeled cucumbers, don’t toss those peels!
  • Cucumber Gazpacho with Yogurt, Cilantro & Coriander from Feasting at Home. Gazpacho is a chilled soup that’s perfect for hot summer days. This version gets its green hue from cucumbers, jalapeño, and cilantro.
  • How To Make Cool, Creamy Greek Tzatziki Sauce. As you can probably tell by now, cucumbers and yogurt are a match made in heaven. Tzatziki pairs grated cucumber and plain Greek yogurt, along with lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs, for an irresistible sauce.

  • Thinly slice the shallots. In a small container, stir together the sour cream, white vinegar, dried dill, grated garlic clove, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumbers and place them in a colander (if using standard cucumber, peel them first; English cucumbers don’t need to be peeled). Toss the slices with several larger pinches of kosher salt and rest 45 minutes. Remove them from the colander and pat them dry.
  • When ready to serve, gently stir together the cucumbers and dressing (don’t stir too vigorously or it will cause bubbles). Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 2 hours; it gets watery if you refrigerate for too long with the sauce. If you’d like to prepare it in advance, refrigerate the components separately until serving.
