Cucumber recipes

Cucumbers are such an underrated ingredient. Luckily our delicious cucumber recipes are here to give the unassuming veggie its time to shine.

If you’ve grown your own cucumbers and have a late summer glut on your hands, you’ve come to the right place. These recipe ideas prove that cucumber is more than just a bit on the side or for dunking in your hummus. Chilled cucumber and yogurt soup is so refreshing at the end of a hot day. Cucumbers tossed with sesame oil, soy and vinegar form the backbone of a filling salad with a difference in our smacked cucumber, tempeh and peanut salad recipe.

Cucumbers have a light, fresh taste that provides a welcome counterpoint to many rich dishes. Try our Vietnamese pork ribs with a refreshing smacked cucumber salad or potted shrimps paired with quick-pickled cucumber.

You could even shake up a zesty summer cocktail with cucumber (we’ve got lots of ideas below) – or preserve some of your harvest for the cooler months with one of our cucumber pickle recipes. Which recipe will you make first?
