The garden shat out tons of cucumbers and outside of the obvious salad and/or cucumber sandwich recipes I am not sure of what to do with them.

Any suggestions?

ps there will be no pickling!

    Hey,DB. google cucumber. I saw 49 diff. places to do cukes. Pickles are super, also a cuke dip but that will only use a few. Peel, remove seeds and mince the rest go wild with your fav. other stuff. S & p cream cheese etc. Dip and enjoy. Glad you have an abundant crop. :):):) to you and the family.
