If You Ask Me, Summer Resides in a Cucumber Sandwich

There’s something so refreshing and satisfying about the simplicity of a cucumber sandwich. Just a little cheese on some homemade or good bakery bread, lots of thinly sliced cucumber, and maybe one other item. I added kimchi to the sandwich last week and really liked it. This week I’ll try watermelon radish slices with the cucumber, and later in the summer, I’ll probably go with cucumber and tomato. It just makes the perfect meal when it is as warm as it is now and you can’t stand the thought of standing in front of a hot stove.

This week we were fortunate to receive an abundance of big beautiful cucumbers in our CSA baskets! My mom sent me this link for a blended cucumber beverage recipe, along with promises that she'd send me more cool cucumber recipes this week.

How are you using your cukes?
