Cucumbers

 We wait for cucumbers all winter long, everyone in our family loves them. Come July we are cucumber based life forms. So refreshing!  

Storage 

Store cucumbers dry in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you find yourself with too many, make pickles!

Cooking Tips 

Our favourite way to eay cucumbers is on a "banger" sandwich as our youngest, Ryker, calls it. Your favourite multigrain bread, toasted with mayo, mustard, and a little salt and pepper. Add some garden fresh tomatoes once they are in season and you will be coming back for more all summer long!

Also cucumbers are an easy snack, sliced and sprinkled with a touch of sugar and a little salt. But they’re also great made into a salad with smashed ginger and garlic, added to couscous or chilled soups, or made into a tzatziki dip. Cucumbers also make great pickles, green juice, and cocktails.
