'DRESSED' CUCUMBER
A Barbadian spin on cucumber salad, almost always served as a side dish with main meals. Also used (with the addition of parsley and a touch of allspice) as the 'pickle' in 'soused' meats (pork, lamb, beef/oxtails, chicken). Fresh lime juice is the key to this delicious salad.

37 CUCUMBER RECIPES FOR A COOLING, CRISP BITE ANY TIME
From bonappetit.com
- Smashed Cucumber Salad. With a tahini-lime dressing and drizzle of chile oil, this is one of those cucumber recipes that would pair nicely with a range of dishes.
- Chile-Cucumber Agua Fresca. Pair this cocktail—punchy from sharp lemon juice and a little habanero heat—with salty snacks. And if you're having it after hours, feel free to add a splash of your favorite Mexican spirit.
- Cucumber and Cilantro Chutney Sandwich. This is not your basic cream cheese and cucumber sandwich. This one also boasts a tangy chutney, made from cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
- Ultimate Zoodles. The zoodle trend is over, you say? They're so satisfying, we don't care. If you don't have a spiralizer, just cut zucchini and cucumbers into thin matchsticks.
- Smashed Cucumber and Melon Salad. This sweet and savory cucumber salad recipe is inspired by pai huang gau, Chinese spicy smashed cucumbers. Smashing Persian cucumbers is an easy way to deseed them, and it also gives them craggy edges ideal for catching the rice vinegar and sesame oil dressing.
- Chicken and Cucumber Rice Bowls. This one's for the people who like to turn leftovers into something new. Roast a big batch of chicken thighs for dinner and use whatever you didn't eat to throw together this grain bowl with minimal prep time.
- Crispy Chickpea and Cucumber Salad. In what could easily be a side dish or a main, this recipe sold us with the ingredient list alone: garlic, cumin, turmeric, chickpeas, feta, and English cucumbers.
- Chill-Out Honeydew Cucumber Slushy. This icy blend of cucumbers, melon, mint, and coconut water is the ultimate cooling concoction. A pinch of salt rounds out the sweetness of the melon and tames the bitterness of the cukes.
- For the Love of Cottage Cheese Salad. If the idea of cottage cheese in a summer tomato salad sounds weird to you, think of it like a caprese that just got back from a little Eastern European vacation.
- Spicy Lightly Pickled Cucumbers. You don't need to turn on the stove to make this pickle brine. Just toss cucumbers in a bowl with the vinegary mixture and let them sit in the fridge for a total time of at least one hour.
