Aren't these cucumbers the most amazing colour? We recently ordered an organic seasonal vegetable box (which will be a one-off, it wasn't particularly good value) and it contained this wonderful cucumber. I made a salad with some onion, freshly ground black pepper and white wine vinegar and it was just lovely. Very sweet and firm and refreshing.

Cucumber Salad

Those simple summer salads using the freshest vegetables and herbs are just wonderful. This looks very inviting.
ReplyDeletemmmm...cucumber salad is one of my favorite summertime dishes! They do look mouthwatering :P''''
ReplyDeleteRachel - it was so crunchy, just perfect for hot weather
ReplyDeleteGirli - it's not something I have made very often, but I can see it becoming a favourite with us, too.
I love cucumbers so much. Perfect food for hot weather.
ReplyDeleteI am having a very cucumber weekend too. They are a wonderful part of summer, looks great!
ReplyDeleteEsi - they are underrated, I think!
ReplyDeleteNatashya - I must get some more.
I can't wait until the cukes are ready here (we have tons of baby ones in the garden) we love a fresh cuke salad with lunch. Sorry your box wasn't a good value. Ours is about 10 - 15% cheaper than buying the same organic veggies at the farmer's market
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cucumbers--cucumber salads are the best!
ReplyDeleteKat - I'm going to try a different company, see if it works out better.
ReplyDeleteDeb - thanks!
