Edible parts

Fruits
Recipe idea for your 'Bristol' F1 cucumber harvest: make a cucumber yogurt salad. After washing, slice the fruit into thin half-moons; remove the central seeds only if they are developed and affect the texture. Mix plain yogurt with lemon juice, chopped dill, and a little garlic. Add the cucumber just before serving and toss gently. A little thinly sliced red onion adds contrast. To serve with flatbreads, keep the sauce fairly thick; for a vegetable plate, add a spoonful of water to better distribute the dressing. Serve well chilled, with cooked chickpeas or grilled vegetables. Young cucumbers are well-suited for preparations where crunch is important. If the fruit releases a lot of water, drain the slices before adding the sauce so it remains creamy. A thicker cut retains more bite; thin strips make for a softer garnish.
