Did you see a few recipes you want to try? I know I did! We’re harvesting cucumbers by the basket load these days and our daughter and son-in-law have been sharing their bounty with us too. We are cucumber crazy over here 🙂 But we’re not complaining, because with the crazy hot days we’ve been having we feel lucky to have any at all.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a lovely weekend!

Wow, Tricia, such a beautiful feast for the eyes first thing in the morning. I’m a huge fan of cucumber and I love all the fun and healthy ideas here. Delicious summer produce just makes me happy!
Thanks so much for including my soup! I was thrilled to see it here 🙂
Sharing!

A nice selection and I need to show to Bev as we have a bunch of cukes we need to use
Thanks Larry! I bet you can find a few to make this weekend 🙂
I just picked the first two cucumbers from my garden recently and can’t wait have enough to use in recipes. The first two I selfishly devoured by myself 🙂 What a delicious collection of recipes you’ve put together. Thank you!
Yeah! We’re amazing at how many cucumbers can come out of one plant. I swear they great by the inches every day. Hope you enjoyed your first two – and thanks!
Never seen a round-up of cucumber recipes before, well done!!! Will be chceking back after a trip to the farmers market;)
I was inspired by all the cucumbers in my veggie drawer! Thanks Cheri – enjoy!
What a great round up. Cucumbers often get overlooked but in China they were our favorite fresh veggie. Love these recipes and I can’t wait to try some of them. Thanks Tricia!
Thank you Abbe – enjoy!
I feel refreshed just reading this post! Cucumbers are kind of under-rated, I never think of them as the star of a recipe, but you’ve convinced me otherwise, I’m off to share this 🙂
Thanks Sue – when you have a veggie drawer full of garden fresh cucumbers like me, you have to get busy! Thanks so much for sharing

I love every single one! Wish I could taste all of them..who would have thought that cucumber dishes can look so sexy and tempting! Thanks, Tricia, for this wonderful roundup.
Thank you Angie – and I agree. Fresh is best! Let’s eat more cucumbers 🙂
And now I’m super hungry! HA, these all look great! Love the margaritas and the chicken cucumber and avocado salad is calling to me!! I’m always getting stuck in a rut food wise, so these are the perfect way to switch things up!
Thanks Annie – I agree. So many delicious recipes I’ll be eating cucumbers at every meal 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

I adore cucumber but it can be difficult to know what to do with it. Not any more! Great inspiration here, the popsicles are very inventive
I feel the same way Bintu – love them but get stuck in the same old recipes. Love all these! Have a terrific weekend!
