Snacks
Fresh cucumbers are ideal for summer snacks. In addition to their thin circles on canapes and sandwiches, you can cook original cucumber slices in the form of chips or ribbons. Delicious cucumber rolls stuffed with crab sticks, cottage cheese, seafood, rice, vegetables, herbs, smoked meats and poultry are prepared from these slices. You can also cook an unusual salad, for which you need 2 fresh cucumbers, 2 kiwi, 10 arrows of green onions and a small bunch of mint.
This salad goes well with steaks, chops or baked pork ribs.
Cucumbers and kiwi are cut into small cubes, mixed with chopped mint and onion, watered with dressing from 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of mustard, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Also from fresh cucumbers mixed with pickled cucumbers, you get a piquant sauce that is perfect for toast, boiled potatoes, ravioli or fried meat. For its preparation, you will need 5 small pickled cucumbers, 1 fresh cucumber, 4 tablespoons of sour cream, 2 cloves of garlic, 6 tablespoons of mayonnaise and any greens. Cucumbers are rubbed on a coarse grater, mixed with mayonnaise, chopped garlic, sour cream and herbs, squeeze the excess juice and pour the sauce over the dish.
