Cucumbers

Cucumbers are a staple in many home gardens because they’re so easy to grow. If gardening isn’t your thing, no worries – varieties like crisp Persian, English, and classic slicing cucumbers are available year-round in grocery stores. They are a refreshing and nutritious addition to many recipes.

Here, you’ll find all of my favorite cucumber recipes, from dishes where they’re the star of the show, like cold cucumber cottage cheese soup and refreshing cucumber water, to recipes where they add a refreshing crunch, like the Russian cold soup Okroshka.

No matter how you use cucumbers in your kitchen, you can count on them to bring a cool, crisp bite that makes every dish better!
