Recipe idea for your ‘Magic’ F1 Lebanese cucumber harvest. Make a cucumber and yogurt salad. Wash the cucumber and cut it into thin half-rounds; remove the central seeds only if they are developed and interfere with the texture. Mix plain yogurt with lemon juice, chopped dill, and a little garlic. Add the cucumber just before serving and stir gently. A little thinly sliced red onion adds contrast. For flatbreads, keep the sauce quite thick; for a vegetable platter, add a tablespoon of water to better distribute the seasoning. Serve well chilled, with cooked chickpeas or grilled vegetables. Young cucumbers are ideal for preparations where crunchiness is important. If the cucumber releases a lot of water, drain the slices before adding the sauce to keep it creamy. A thicker cut retains more chewiness; thin strips create a softer garnish.
