Recipe idea

From garden to table

Recipe idea for your harvest of organic 'Burpless No. 26' F1 cucumbers. 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 work well in preparations where crunch matters. 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.
