When you need to cool down, these cucumber recipes will do the trick. The crisp green vegetable works wonders in salads and pickles and is in good company with yoghurt, oily fish and grilled chicken. And cucumber in drinks is pure refreshment and a cult classic.
Our collection of fresh cucumber recipes features our best pickled cucumbers and tarragon cucumber pickles recipe, perfect for sandwiches; side dish ideas like Louis Tikaram's snow pea and cucumber salad recipe; and Hellenika's Greek salad made with diced cucumbers, feta, tomatoes and other fresh vegetables.
For impressive mains, make our roast ocean trout with cucumber and preserved lemon salad, or barbecued Balmain bugs with charred corn salsa - they're sure to please the table. And if you're after excellent entrees, our grilled peppers and flatbread salad with cucumber recipe or our snapper crudo with roe and cucumber are the perfect way to get the party started. We also have refreshing drinks, like our cucumber-gin slushie and Hellenika's Ari Onassis cocktail.
