Creamed Cucumber Delight Recipes

Steps:

• Combine cucumbers and green onions in a large bowl. Cover and let stand for 1 hour. Combine all remaining ingredients; pour over cucumber mixture and mix well. Refrigerate for several hours.

Steps:

• Peel and slice cucumber and onions thinly. The best results are even slices. I use a mandolin for this step.
• Place sliced cucumber and onions in a medium bowl that has a lid.
• In a small bowl mix together the Miracle Whip, sugar, vinegar. Add salt and pepper if using. Pour over top of the cucumbers/onions. Place the lid on the bowl and give it a shake or two.
• Marinate 6 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Do not add more liquid. Juice will keep for a long time. Just keep adding onions and cucumber as they get low until you no longer get the wonderful flavor on the cucumbers. Then it is time for a new batch.

Steps:

• Put a large colander in a large bowl. Add the cucumbers and onions to the colander, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and toss until the salt is evenly distributed. Let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
• Transfer the cucumbers and onions from the colander to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and pat them dry with another layer of paper towels.
• Whisk together the sour cream, dill, vinegar and a few cracks of black pepper in a medium bowl. Add the cucumbers and onions and toss until coated.
• To make ahead: Salt and pat dry the cucumbers and onions as above, then keep separate from the dressing until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, milk, sugar, and vinegar until smooth. Place cucumber slices in the bowl, and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Chill 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and ranch dressing mix packet. Stir until well-blended.
• Slice cucumbers into relatively thin slices (I cut mine to approximately 1/4").
• Slice baguette into medium slices (mine were about 1/2"). For a "daintier" sandwich, trim off crusts.
• Spread cream cheese mixture onto one slice of bread. (I prefer a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture!).
• Place 4-5 cucumber slices on top of cream cheese.
• Spread cream cheese mixture onto a second piece of bread and place the bread on top of the cucumbers, cream cheese side down.
• Repeat!
• NOTE: I recently made this recipe for a bridal shower bruch I hosted. I knew the morning of the shower would be crazy, so I sliced the cucumbers and mixed up the cream cheese spread the night before. It tasted great and made things so much easier on the morning of the shower!

Steps:

• Mix cucumbers, sweet onion, and sea salt together in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for 30 minutes.
• Turn cucumber mixture into a colander set over a bowl or in a sink; let drain, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has drained, about 30 minutes more. Transfer drained cucumber mixture to a large bowl.
• Stir mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, dill, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a bowl with a whisk until smooth; pour over the cucumber mixture and stir to coat vegetables with the dressing.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Peel and slice cucumbers and onions very thinly (I use a mandolin for this).
• Place cucumbers, onion slices and salad dressing in a container that has a tight fitting lid.
• Place the lid on and give the container a couple of shakes which will coat the cucumbers, chives and onions with the dressing and toss the salad.
• Place container in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bake the french bread according to the directions. Once baked, cut into 1 inch slices.
• Mix the powdered italian dressing mix with the softened cream cheese and spread evenly over each slice of bread.
• Place a slice of cucumber on top of each piece. Set a few sprigs of dill weed on top of the cucumber.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine cucumbers, onion, water and salt. Let stand for 1 hour; drain and rinse. In a serving bowl, beat cream, sugar and vinegar. Add cucumbers and onion; toss gently. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Steps:

• Peel Cucumbers and scoop out seeds with a spoon.
• Cut into bite size pieces and sprinkle with salt (no special amount).
• Let drain for about an hour then rinse cucumbers well with cold water.
• Cut onions into bite size pieces and add to cucumbers.
• Mix sour cream, miracle whip, salt sugar, vinegar, and dill weed or chives together and pour over cucumbers & onions.
• Stir thoroughly.
• Refrigerate for at least an hour.

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and refrigerate until chilled.
