Cucumber Salads

Sliced cucumber in ranch dressing is good. Or in sour cream, with or without dill. Or sliced cucumbers and onion in a dressing of equal parts vinegar and oil, plus some salt and pepper. They’ll dress up the plate more if you serve them on a lettuce leaf. Scraping the edge of the cucumber before slicing it will give it a scalloped look which is dressier than leaving them plain and isn't much work at all. Peel commercial cucumbers to get rid of the wax that's used to preserve them, but you don't need to do that with cucumbers from the Farmers Market.
