Looks so yummy! I always have cucumbers in the fridge and can’t wait to try this!
This looks delicious! I’m always wondering what to do with cucumbers, besides tossing them in salad and serving on sandwiches.

Sounds great, I have a cucumber salsa I love! Just mix the ingredients and chill to blend.
3/4 cup diced seeded peeled cucumber
6 tablespoons chopped red onion
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
that sounds more like a yummy salad than a salsa!!!
We have tons of cukes right now so this is an excellent receipe for me! 🙂 Thanks!
Those cucumbers look delicious and that salsa sounds SO good! Love that it has mango in it!
sounds good, thanks for the recipe
HOLY COW! That’s crazy that you had 24 cucumbers! I have never heard of cucumber salsa before but that sounds delicious!
This sounds great. I love a cold salad when I have spicy meal. It just helps it balance out.
I don’t know how I missed this one! I would love to try it out. Right now is probably not the best time to make it as we now have to buy our veggies. So I sam going to bookmark this for this summer. I just might sneek out and get the veggies any way and try it. It looks and sounds so good. Thanks for sharing.
It looks great! I sure wish I could get cucumbers to grow here in S. FL, but the bugs eat the flowers:(
