Just inherited a bunch of cucumbers from a friend's garden. I love them just on their own with some salt, and have made many a salad using them. I'm curious what kinds of fun things you all may use them for. Even if you feel like it's basic please share as I will be eating cucumbers for the next several days straight lol. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

In food?

A basic cucumber salad with some onion, tomato and vinegar dressing is always great.

I also used them to create a gin infusion that was pretty fresh tasting and easy to make, makes for a nice summer cocktail.

The Anakin/Padme meme just writes itself on this one.

This is my go-to summer salad! Chunks of tomato and cucumber with thin-sliced shallot or red onion, salt and let sit for ~20 minutes to release some liquid, drain and add chopped avocado and your favorite canned bean (I like cannellini), dress with black pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

I make a cucumber salad similar to this and add a little bit of feta cheese, too.
